Numbness Near Incision



Recommended Posts

I searched on here but all the numbness that seems to come up has to do with legs.

I am wondering if anyone else had any numbness near any of their incisions? About 2 inches below one of my incisions I have like a 4 x 4 inch area of complete numbness and was wondering if you had it did it go away?

Edit: I had googled it on my phone earlier but I did it for gastric bypass specifically and got no definite answer. I just googled it for general surgery and it's common and hopefully will go away.

I know this isn't your situation, I but after I had a c section with my 2nd baby... I definitely had numbness and still to this day (7 years later) have few spots that I can't really feel. I think the nerves can get
damaged even with a laparoscopic surgery.

This is what I'm thinking too. I guess it's 50/50 that the feeling will come back. It's funny though, that spot is one of the spots that act up and hurt the most below the surface. As long as that goes away I can live with the numbness I think.

Thanks for your feedback :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
