Hi everyone, just found this forum on the net. Hope you can understand my posting as English is not my native language. I was banded in October 2004 and have finally reached my goal. I'm used to metrics, so I'll use my BMI. I went from 47 to 25 in just 2 years. I'm a member of a forum in my own country, but now I have a question no one on that forum can answer. For over a week now I'm suffering a dropfoot, and it was mentioned to me that one of the reasons can be a lack of vitamins. Is someone on this forum familiar with this? Please help as I'm really frightened at the moment. I have been to the hospital and was seen by a neuro specialist who told me the dropfoot wasn't the result of a stroke, but I have to wait 3 weeks for a follow up appointment and would like to have some answers sooner. Thanks!
