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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
