Hi,
Burning sensations in hand/ feet after gastric bypass surgery is usually suggestive of deficiency of vitamin B 12, but the other symptoms such as delaying healing, increased thirst and urination etc are suggestive of diabetes. I would suggest you to check your blood sugar and vitamin B 12 levels after consulting your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
