I have been having a terrible burning to the left of my belly button. It got really bad today (6days out). My doctor has put neurontin. Just wanted to know if anyone else has also experienced any nerve damage after surgery.

I lost the feeling in my left leg after lap band surgery. I have the rny scheduled in one week and hope I don't lose feeling in another limb.

My thighs were numb after surgery for about 6 wks. that is from the grounding of the cautery machine. The feeling does come back in due time.

I had that same burning feeling. My surgeon said it was normal. That's where most of the work was done. It does go away with time.

I am two years out and still can't feel my left leg from the lap band. My feeling did not come back and it is very aggravating when I get the pins and needles or a dead leg feeling.

How long did it take to go away?

Probably about 5 weeks until it completely went away.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
