Needle jabs after weight loss.

Coworker and I both had bariatric surgery. Both of us agree when we were fat we had no problems getting jabbed. After weight loss is feels like Michael Meyers is trying to jab us with a kitchen knife. After making it through chemo I gotta go through a work up every three months and for three weeks after I gotta go get a bag of iron (B12) drained into my veins for 2 hours. Usually takes them 3-5 affronts to get an IV in me and practically need to strap me down. For a good day after my limb is sore. This is the BA of course but other facilities have had their fair share of people that can’t hit the vein. Except three women in Oncology that pulled blood every chemo visit. They were amazing. Quick, hit their mark every time and only ones in my life where I couldn’t feel the needle. Professional vampires there.

Anyone else find they are super sensitive anymore?

You should tell a doctor this is happening. It doesn't have to and you've had good phlebotomists in the past. I've had the same experience you've had, but it's been lik that for the last 40 or 50 years. There are many people who are really skillful at this. You shouldn't have any pain, and it doesn't have anything to do with gastro surgery.
 
I can totally relate to your experience! After weight loss, it seems like sensitivity increases, especially when it comes to needles. It’s frustrating to deal with those multiple attempts. I agree, finding a good phlebotomist makes all the difference.
 
Hi Im Dori.I have this happen all the time,even after losing 70 lbs.My RNY surgery was in 2018.Ive just gotten to the point where I tell phlbotomists to just get the blood from the veins on the top of my hands.Its better than being stuck 4 or 5 times.If they use a little thing called a butterfly they can get blood easier.They use it on babies and their little veins.Im always happy when I can get out with one blood stick after take my blood.I hope things go better for you...
