title: [Rapid sensory motor neuropathy after gastric restriction surgery].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Central and peripheral neurological complications have been described in association with bariatric surgery over the last 20 years.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 40 year-old women developed a sensory motor neuropathy 3 months after a gastric restriction operation followed by a 30 kilograms weight loss. No specific vitamin or mineral deficiency was detected but she improved after multivitamin and minerals supplementation.
