Just had consultation ,very excited ! I am getting my sleeve in Penn Medicine!

Thanks so much......I feel as if someone is passing the buck......the neurologist said to return to the gastroenterologist..... and he said he does not feel that there is any mal absorbsion issues....I am taking the vitamins and eating as best as I am able.....not sure if I should call and see the surgeon again ?The Mayo Clinic and NIH studies do say that it is unusual to have these issues post VSG however and small percent of people do.....and it seems as if I have peripheral Neuropathy......thinking about consulting someone at Columbia Presbytarian in NYC or the Univ. of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia....it is so frustrating...the surgery went well......,,,thanks for the support...I have some MRI studies.....already found some bulging/herniated discs.... I have a thorasic MRI on wednesday to see if there are any more discs that are bulging or herniated....? After I had the surgery and started to lose the weight--I went to the gym and had a trainer help me....something might have happened there ?
