Hello, sorry this is going to be long. I hope someone will have advice.

I had Rny in July of 2014. Since surgery I have been extremely exhausted. I have had my blood work done. Many times. My hands and feet go numb. I have a vibration in my left foot that feels like I am stepping on a cell phone on vibrate.

Sometimes I get dizzy even when sitting. And my feet will sometimes just not work. It's all mostly in my left foot. Sometimes I have a hard time lifting it and it feels like it's not there. I also get body tremors. Mostly my hands. Sometimes my whole body.

They have tested my bloodwork, did a CT scan looking for ms or brain cancer. They have done an emg. I have seen a neurologist whom looks at me like I'm insane.

I am about 10 pounds under my goal weight. And I either keep losing or stay where I am at.

My bariatric program has high turnover for all their staff from Dr's to secretaries so I have been doing all my follow up with my primary Dr.

I take a multi Vitamin, Calcium with Vitamin D, Biotin, fish oil, b12, and Iron ( iron every other day so I don't get constipated) potassium and magnesium.

I was doing them all twice a day but my neurologist took me off of them all to see if I was having a reaction. I added them back in once a day myself because i started getting horrible migranes.

I juse added b complex and a vitimin d pill to see of that would help. So far it helped with body tremors but my hands still shake and I still have all other symptoms.

I'm tired of seeing Dr's. I just want to feel half way normal.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Sorry it's so long.

Hope they can find out what is wrong.

I had same issue about 3 years ago, and Dr. said they could not find anything, but I went from full activity, to barely having ability to get up and go to work each day. Due to my assistance, the Dr. did more testing and found I was positive for Barre Syndrome (Basically Adult Mono).

There was no real cure for it but improved diet and slow recovery of my immune system.

it took about a year for me to recover, but at least the severe tiredness went away.

Thank you for the reply. I am desperate. I will mention this to my Dr. I am afraid I am going to end up losing my job one day.

Do you take your blood pressure at home when things happen? Fish oil can raise your be. It's hard at times to diagnose things. I had a fever once that lasted 6 months or so. I had every test my doctor could think of and he couldn't find the cause. Start keeping a log of vitals signs, bp, pulse, temp and blood sugar if you have a glucose monitor. Make notations when the symptoms appear. What were u doing,eating etc. perhaps you can find the missing link. I wish you well

Fainting, tremors and weakness can be signs of low blood sugar. Several individuals that underwent RNY gastric bypass surgery experience a type of hypoglycemia called "Reactive Hypoglycemia". Here is one link about this condition but you can search for other links on the internet. https://www.ridgeviewmedical.org/services/bariatric-weight-loss/enewsletter-articles/reactive-hypoglycemia-postgastric-bypass/
