Feeling numbness? almost 20 months post op.

Does anyone experience this so far post op?? I often feel random numbness in my thighs and buttock. And sometimes even all over! Ill be laying in bed and my wife will go to hold me and I get a "pins and needles poking me" all over the area where she is holding me. Or I will go to scratch and area on my body and I can't feel myself scratching that area. Ex. Right now I'm itching to the left of my eye (the corner of where my two eye lids meet) and I cannot feel it. I am almost 2 years post op. Any help would be awesome. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with surgery, and I'm not sure who I should call. Thanks everyone.

Don't know about the eye area, but butt and thighs sounds like sciatica to me. That's the feeling I get when my sciatica is acting up. A few visits to the chiropractor ought to fix it.

Sounds like you're having numbness all over, if it includes your face. You need to go to your regular doctor and start exploring what it is.... I really doubt it's related to the sleeve.

Well everything i've researched points to B-12, for the first thing to explore. I have not been taking vitamins after surgery (I KNOW thats not good, but I don't ever have the extra cash to spend on vitamins). But seeing as tho this problems isn't going away I went out and got a bottle of B-12 vitamins and hopefully the problem was a vitamin deficiency.
