Vitamin B blood test

Hello Everyone!!! Tomorrow I will actually be 18 weeks post op. These weeks are going fast.

I wanted to update everyone early this week because it has been an interesting week. Wednesday morning I went to the doctor's office to get a blood test to have them check my vitamin B levels.

Around Labor Day, I started to experience some numbness in various parts through out my body. Mainly after I had been sitting at work and in the car for long periods of time. My arms and legs and parts of my face started to feel numb. Almost like it was falling asleep. I ignored it for a few days. Then it started to get worse. Parts of my back started to go numb just by standing, then my feet would go numb. It was a weird feeling and finally Monday morning I emailed the nurse at the doctor's office and she gave me wonderful suggestions to see what could relieve the numbness. She also suggested that I get my Vitamin B checked.

This coming Monday I should have the test results telling me if I am deficient in Vitamin B. I will keep you all posted. I am not worried and this shouldn't be a discouragement to anyone thinking about having surgery. I just want to make sure that you know exactly what I am going through. I am still glad I had this surgery and would do it all over again if I had too!

Will update soon! Have a great weekend!!!
