Guest guest Posted November 26, 2000 Report Share Posted November 26, 2000 Hello all, I had my MGB on 11/10 at DRH and have really had no problems. Lost 37lbs already! Went onto soft solids on day 6 and after 13 days tried the Turkey and no problems.Six is last night and did'nt feel a thing! Just kidding, I DO NOT drink anymore. I'm pretty much eating anything now except solid red meat. Maybe next week. Anyways, the only complication from surgery that I have is that the two outer fingers on my right hand always feel like they are sleeping? You know, very little feeling, especially in the baby finger. RR said at clinic that its somewhat common and should go away but to let him know. Its now day 16 and its the same. Apparently its a pinched nerve in the elbow from being strapped out onto those side boards in the OR. My Chiropractor says they should redesign the boards to have a slight incline. Has anyone experienced this problem? Cape Cod 363/326/190 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2000 Report Share Posted November 26, 2000 Whopee !!!! You're doing the best I've heard ever, except that you've got some circulation problems... I've personally never heard of that but there is probably someone out there that has. My advice to you is to call Dr. R. again, and ask him! Trudy Anybody have a circulation complication?

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2000 Report Share Posted November 26, 2000 Hi congrats on your weight loss. I am no doc but you may have an Ulnar Nerve Compression. I had that once. Not sure what caused it..but mine went on and on...they finally had to do surgery to decompress it. I am sure yours isn't to that point. I could of cut off my little finger and the one next to it and not felt a thing. Prior to having the problem I did have a bout of pneumonia...and was in bed for an extended period of time..so I guess I could have done it then. Hopefully it will subside in a short period of time.
