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 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.

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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
