Post surgical circulation

[nh-vsgirl 102]

I will call my doctor in a few hours but figured I'd ask here too. I had vsg Tuesday morning, 2 nights ago they had to do a new IV and couldn't get a vein so they attacked me like a pin cushion for nothing. Anyway my arms are a little sore from that but my hands. Especially my left are tingly now, any one else experience this or have any tips to improve the blood flow there ? I walk frequently and have the compression socks on as well. My feet do get tingly too but not constantly. My a.s.s. also goes numb if I sit for long lol.

I'm feeling pretty good otherwise , not on pain meds, getting 30ml every 15 to 20 mins as directed .

According to the internet, there can be several reasons why you feel numbness or a tingling sensation after surgery.

Numbness after any surgical procedure is expected for several weeks to months following. As the nerves to the area are traumatized and will then experience a temporary neuropraxia, a transient loss of nerve conduction. This usually resolves over the next 6-12 weeks, but depending on the procedure performed, sometimes much longer.

Thank you:) that's what I found too, I was hoping someone had a personal experience. I have noticed the more I walk the better it gets so I'm not too concerned yet
