Numb...

[Erin O'Donnell 61]

Hey! So I've noticed that the skin in the area around my port site is numb (I'm 2 weeks post op, by the way..). It doesn't bother me or anything, I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Haven't been banded yet, but when I had my hysterectomy I had the same thing over my incision. It's just the healing process.

I'd still ask your Dr. That's why they make the big bucks.

sorry hon, opposite problem here; I have plenty of feeling at my port site. To the point I have tenderness.

I'm sorry to hear that I can still feel soreness from the point but just the like...top layer of skin is numb :/

I had knee surgery about 15yrs ago and my whole area by my incision is still numb to the touch, I could feel a pin prick, but to touch the skin, numb. I am sure it is all about the healing process and you should be fine. If you are freaked out, give your surgeon a call.

I have numbness but still tenderness so i am right there with you. I had a c-section 17 months ago (my second) and I still am numb over that incision so it is pretty normal I believe! Hang in there... I am basically the same as you, 12 days out!
