  1. Thanks for that, makes a lot of sense. I damaged the nerves in one of my fingers about 8 years ago (cutting up cabbage for the cabbage Soup diet, lol) and I still get weird tingling and numbness there too. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Thanks for putting my mind at rest. Congratulations on only having 4lb to go to your target!

  3. Hi all. I had my surgery 4 years ago, and I've had no problems at all. But over the last couple of months I have noticed a strange tingling sensation that seems to be localized in the area where the scar is from the port entry, just under my ribs on the left side. I only get this when I lie down for more than a couple of minutes. There is no pain, and the tingling is not present in any other part of my body, so I don't think it's nutrient deficiency. And as my surgery was so long ago it seems unlikely to be surgical complications. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your thoughts.
