When does the numbness around the primary work incision go away

[MegaBob 46]

I was sleeved 12-23 and have had a painless recovery. My only issue is that the area around the incision where they did the most work from is numbish and sort of burns. It feels like my tee shirt is rubbing it and irritating it. I ask the Dr and a nurse who had the surgery and they said it was normal and described why it feels that way. They said everyone is different in how long it lasts. What is your experience?

I didn't experience that at all...are you putting some aloe lotion or neosporin type stuff on it which may help with the healing... but yes, everyone is different; but if it persists, they need to address it!

Mine used to randomly hurt like a sharp burning nerve pain and other times it would itch like crazy. I would say it took at least 4 months before I forgot it was even there. Just give it time. Remember that the incision is the least of your worries. Just focus on getting your liquids and Proteins in and unless it's hurting constantly and oozing something ignore it like a healing cat scratch.

Just depending, my doc said about 3-6weeks. My incision pain disappeared after total of 6 weeks.
