Numb under large incision?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I have a numb sensation under the large incision? Is this normal? Not really worried, might have just been disturbed by the surgery which was on the 25/2 so over 2 weeks ago. Any comments on this would be good...

I had that too, it eventually spread across the entire front of my waistband area and went away after about a month. The large incision is where your port is. The port and tubing were sutured to your muscle wall amongst muscle and nerve so this sensation is normal.

hey there,

on the large cut, its numb, itchy were the stretch marks have been cut, and it got lovely and fleuro red and infected! although it does hurt still after a month and a bit when you lean across on it, as i still do everyday at work!

the little ones are fine, except the dissovable stich in one is out flapping in the breeze.

best of luck

I had my surgery a year ago, and I'm still numb right under the large incision where the port's located. I noticed it after someone else mentioned it. The only way I can tell it's numb is when I scratch the skin in that area, and right around the incision, I have no sensation of my skin being scratched. I asked the NP about it, and she said some people don't get the feeling back. I think it's a good thing, because my fills are completely painless.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
