headaches and tingling after gallbladder surgery Posted: 02-20-06 17:40pm
I had my gallbladder out on february 4th
2006. About a week after the surgery I
started getting frequent headaches.
Yesterday on february 19 2006 I started
getting a tingling sensation in my left
hand and left foot. Before my surgery I
had a sore tongue for about 6 weeks and
also food tasted funny to me. Just
wondering if the tingling could be related
to the surgery/anesthesia.

I am no Dr. But it is generally related
to the anesthesia, if you feel you are
having more problems call your Dr.
I knew that after my gb surgery that their
was something wrong and I kept calling and
complaining and finaally they did aan
x-ray and found some surgical equiptment
in me like I believe it was surgiical
scissors or something like that, it was a
long time ago., so they went back in and
got rid of them, after that, I was ok
except I still cannot eat anything spicy
or fatty.
Good luck!

Thanks for you reply. The reason I was
asking is because before my surgery, I was
having what I thought were mild signs of
b12 deficiency. Now 2 weeks after
surgery I am having the tingling,
depression and headaches. I read
somewhere on the net (can't find it now),
that some anesthesias used in surgery can
cause problems to your b12/folate levels
even if you have normal b12 levels pre op.
I am going to my gp on thursday and will
bring this all up tp her.
