Can't imagine how this could be related to the sleeve unless there is surgical nerve damage, which is unlikely. I would be getting myself to my PCP ASAP...Kathe

I googled and found that a B12 defeciency can cause it....hmmm

Please call your doctor. It might be a deficiency or it might be something else unrelated to your surgery.

It could be low potassium. Are you eyes twitching too?

Hands curling up and loss of sensation is usually a dead on indicator for Vitamin and mineral deficiency. But be safe and seek medical advice ASAP...

Going numb maybe from the pain meds (if you are still taking them) but drawing up....sounds like a deficiency.

My doc asked me this very question at my last check up... sign of Vitamin deficiency... Do you take B12 right now? This is especially a problem for vegetarians....but others as well. This can cause brain damage, so get checked out ASAP!

Is that your Drs dose recommendation? I was very low, and I take one 4 times a week....

4 times a week?

4 times a week?

yes, after getting blood tests every month or so we found that seems to keep it stable.1000 mcg each sub lingual tab.. Im a vegetarian, which can cause B12 deficiencies as well...

I noticed that you posted on a Saturday and most posters asked you to get help ASAP but yet you had to wait until Monday. I suggest asking your surgeon who you can turn to on weekends. Some things just can't wait. IMHO
