Unhappy Oh, Nicole!

You poor thing! That's not fun at all. I'm so sorry you've had such a difficult time. It sounds like your doctor is trying to help as much as possible. However, I would DEFINITELY ask your doctor about a vitamin deficiency. It is the most common side effect of WLS and it can most certainly cause numbness. You're correct that some of our posters are having the same issues with numbness. Please don't let your symptoms continue without addressing the vitamin deficiency question! Take care of yourself, friend. I hope you're feeling lots better really soon.
