Numb Tongue

[30SOMETHING 16]

I was banded on Wednesday July 27th. I noticed that my tongue has been numb ever since. Has anyone else had this problem? Its only the tip of my tongue that is numb.

You should call your doctor. I don't think that's normal.

I was also banded on the 27th and have had a problem with my tongue. Nothing tastes right. It's almost as if my taste buds are dead.. I was hoping this would go away. I have an appointment with my dr on Tuesday for my post op visit.

I just did a internet search and it is pretty common. It has to do with tube they put down your throat during surgery. It may have been laying on your tongue weird. It also could be a side effect of the anesthesia. According to one site, it could last a few days to a few weeks.

Congrats on surgery! I hope your recovery goes well!
