Magnesium and potassium deficiency. Happened to me too. I bumped up the magnesium and potassium and it went away.

I’ve always had that - getting stiff or cramped if I stay in the same position too long (could be five minutes could be 30). My hands became cramped from holding my iPad while reading last night.
Your weight distribution is changing as you’re losing weight so that may be contributing too. Magnesium can help with cramping.
But if anything seems or feels strange for you, always contact your medical team to be sure.

Perhaps you may need more hydration and possibly electrolytes.
But give your team a call if you can and tell them about this. They may have so tips or instructions for you

It sounds more like pinched nerve in neck or spine.

Hi everyone. I had my vsg on April 7th. A few nights ago I felt really bad tingling in my left arm and left side of face. It went away after about an hour or so (not sure if it's related). I went to the beach last night, and you know how when you're sitting on the ground, you put your arms behind you and kind of relax on your arms? Well I was doing that and every time I moved from that position, when I'd move my arms back to normal, my fingers on both hands would be stiff and "locked" for a few seconds before I could move them. I ofcourse thought Calcium, but I'm taking my Vitamins, calcium chews, and still having one Premier Protein shake a day with 650mg of calcium in that alone, so idk. Has anyone else had this?

Getting my sleeve done tomorrow morning! I have to be there at 530am. I'm so very nervous.

I’m out and it all went well. No issues getting up to pee. Mild pain

April 7th! I just found out two days ago. Starting my liquids diet today.

Submitting everything early March after my last nutritionist appt on March 4th, so we'll see! I'm getting really nervous.

Dates are coming up for us! I am so anxious nervous excited - all rolled into one lol

Hopefully you will be joining us Marchers - if not, I am sure you will be in early April.

once you are approved you are good. I was a 44bmi with no co's..... my doc said to not lose a pound till i did. Then after i was approved i could lose if i wanted to. On the 2 week liq diet i lost more than 10lbs.
When i got then sleeve my bmi was 31(8/28/19) with no co's, but even though it was done 2.5 years after band removal it still was considered a revision. He noted my chart with my first bmi of 44 (2009), what i had gotten too 26 (2017) with the band. Of course, my insurance didn't cover the removal or the sleeve.... 14k out of pocket for the sleeve. I am so grateful...... my bmi is now a 21. 5'2" 120lbs

had to go to the doctor he prescribe something for me

Did the jaundice go away on its own or did you need anything from the hospital/Drs?

Perfect, thank you so much!

I would go directly to the bariatric surgeon. They will take care of the insurance and then all you have to do is go to your PCP for a clearance. At least that's what I've known people to do. Good luck!

It's MY time!
