Hi everyone I was sleeved on 3/1/13... So far so good... Most of the time when I'm going about my daily routine I forget I even had the surgery! For the past 2 nights and as I sit here now reading the different threads... I've been suffering from horrific restless arms!!! What is this? It's driving me crazy and makes me want to scream... It's SO uncomfortable! Anyone else going through this... Or heard of this? What is causing it? Help....!

When I went home from the hospital, I had horrible pain in my lower arms. I hadn't needed any of my pain meds at all, until I felt this pain. It was so uncomfortable that I had to take the pain meds to make it go away. Luckily, it only lasted for two days. When I told my doctor about it, he was really surprised by it and thought it was strange, but didn't really make a big deal about it (probably because it was gone). Not sure if that's what you are feeling or not, but thought I'd share.

I had my surgery done 4/2/2013 and I have been having restless legs AND arms. YES, it is driving me crazy and I have been trying to google and figure out what it is. If you figure it out, please post!

I have restless leg syndrome. And have found that it is acting up more. I take requip for it.

If this continues, I will look into taking that! Thanks

I have been having this too! I feel absolutely compelled to move my arms just as I am trying to fall asleep.

My mother in law has horrible restless leg but she finds it stays under control if she supplements with sublingual B12... our new stomachs don't absorb B12 as well anymore so I am wondering if adding sublingual B12 (or more if you are taking some) might help? My doctor has me on one lozenge a day... BTW it takes her body a few days to feel better if she has let her dosage slip :-) I hope this helps :-)

I still have the restless arms from time to time... I haven't had one single other issue since surgery!! So when my surgeon meets with me and asks how I'm doing... He thinks this is hilarious that this is my only complaint... I'm not laughing! He is perplexed on the whole issue... B12 is interesting!!! Thank you! I will head out to buy some!

We were told to take B12 sublingual everyday, a Multivitamin, Calcium citrate, and Actigall for 6 months to prevent gallstones.

Glad to see this posted. My RLS seems to have gotten worse since surgery. I will try the b12

I had the same pain in my arms and it was from the IV and where they had drawn blood. It also didnt help that I had been using my arms to pull and push myself up when getting out of bed. It only lasted 2 days.

I too have fatigue feeling in my left arm. Mine is seemingly a lack of calcium because it at times feels similar to my knee problems. I didn't start calcium yet regular. I ordered some. I have never

Had this pain before. iMO

I have issues with low potassium and have issues with my legs and arms. They hurt and feel like they weigh 100 lbs.
