Craziest thing
I'm 10 days from RNY surgery & I have noticed the craziest thing....When I touch the skin around my belly button far away from my incision, there is NO sensation. It feels so weird! Almost like I have local anesthesia there. I'm sure this is from cut nerves but what a weird sensation. Does everyone have this happen?

yes -- you do have anesthetic there -- and it will wear off -- so, you may experience soreness as you get farther away from your surgery than you did in the first few days.
I have more pain from my tummy tuck at 10 months out than I did at 1 week out because nerves and lymph systems are re-generating and anesthetic has long worn off
Pain - always consult your doctor (pain is God's way of telling us to take action)
Discomfort -- expect it to ebb and flow as you heal
