    I didn't have foot drop after WLS but was told I may get it after I had my knee replaced. From what I remember, it's caused by crushing a nerve on the side of you leg. I wonder if it's from crossing your legs, which most of us couldn't do before surgery, but do more often now that we can. Good luck finding a solution.

    Oh sometimes I find myself double crossed legged on a chair or seat if I am seated for too long in a waiting area. That's definitely something I used to never do. I will be more conscious not to do it.

    To the OP. Do you or did you exercise often post op? How old are you? I'm wondering if it's related to age or muscle wasting?

    My sister was very anemic after her surgery. She had to have iron infusions. So far I have not had any deficiencies except D and I have been able to remedy that.
