Eeew no....I have not heard of this. I thought I'd read about almost everything on here. Have you called your docs office yet? I would be concerned of blood clots, but I don't know the symptoms for that....

I never had a hot tingly feeling. You might want to contact your doctor and let them know. He/She will be a better judge of the symptoms.

Congratulations on your surgery :D

It only occurs at night time when I'm laying down. I think I'll def call my Dr. tomorrow. I hope it isn't something bad. My biggest fear is blood clots.

I found this: (of course there is more out there, but i thought this would be a start....)

Signs and Symptoms of Blood Clots

Unfortunately the symptoms are sometimes mild, and easily confused with other conditions. If you have a blood clot in your leg (DVT) you may notice:

  • New swelling in your arm or leg.
  • Skin redness.
  • Soreness or pain in your arm or leg.
  • A warm spot on your leg.

It was lack of Vitamins. I started to take B12 and feeling so much better.

I'm having this- and I take mega amounts of b12 and b complex- I'm seeing my Dr on Tuedsay. It's gone on for two weeks- and it's so irritating - it was only in my upper thighs- now moved down to my calves and feet- and my left arm while we were on vacation in Maui last week.

If you've ever been outside too long in freezing weather- and your skin starts to tingle and go numb on the surface..... That's what mine feels like.

Can anyone else weigh in on this topic- I am faithful about my vitamins- never have skipped- excersize twice a day- and have lost 75 lbs since May 15.

At first I thought it was just my skin adjusting to the rapid loss..... But now I am a little scared

And this tingling is 24/7 not just at certain times.

I had that while pregnant. My bp was low and when it was making big drops in my pressure I constantly felt that sensation.

I'm not sure if that's what's going on but maybe monitor you BP

I hope you get better soon!!!

I was getting that feeling 24/7 as well. I get it now sometimes too. Are you drinking a lot of Water? Intaking enough Protein? When I told my doctor about it she said if you see your leg getting swollen then you should worry bc those are signs of blood clotting. Other than that she said those side effects were normal.

Good luck with your doctor appt. I am sure it isn't anything bad.

Thank you for the info. That's a bit of a relief :)

No- I don't think I have ever gotten "enough" Water or protien. I have massive restriction- hell I barely get 3-400 calories in a day. And I feel like I'm constantly eating to get just that in.

I am faithful about my Vitamins, exersize, and the types of food I do eat, I never anything bad for me. Haven't since well before surgery.

The only swelling I had was very mild- and was only from a 5 hour plane ride, to and from Hawaii. But that was nothing compared to how I used to be when I was 75 lbs heavier.

Thank you again for the reassurance. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
