crazedteacher 38 Posted April 2, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou:) 110 Posted April 2, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBdoodle 483 Posted April 2, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexandria Hashagen 4 Posted April 2, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou:) 110 Posted April 2, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alexandria Hashagen 4 Posted April 3, 2013 Probably about 5 weeks until it completely went away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
