Hi Everyone-

Just trying to see if anyone else has experienced the same side effect after their surgery.  I had my RNY on Monday, August 11th, after coming home I realized that my left thigh is numb.  It has not gotten any better or any worse since I have been home.  I am hoping this is a temporary side effect.  Has anyone else experienced anything like this?  Also do you think I can wait until my follow up appt. to notify my surgeon or should I contact him sooner.  My follow up appt. with my surgeon in on the 21st.

Thank you!!

YUP!  It happened to me because they gave me a heprin shot there and they blew a blood vessel . It lasted at least 4 months!

Mine was from the way they had me positioned on the table.  I used Capstan cream and it went away
