At three months post op I made a trip to the ER after three days of vomitting nonstop. Turned out to be sludge in my gallbladder. Six days bedridden and I am finally home but my legs and a portion of my stomach are completely numb and I can't bear weight on my left leg. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I go see my pcp tomorrow to get an MRI but I just want to know if anyone else has gone through this.

I have not had this, but I recall seeing a post by someone saying they had some neuropathy, and that this is a little known potential complication from WLS. Sorry, I can't remember who the poster was or more detail. Also, can't say that there is (or is not) validity to the post, but you might search and find it. Hope you feel better!

Apparently it's more common than we knew...a quick Google turned up this:

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

      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?

      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! 😞
