Yes, I experienced it. I felt it right after I got home from the surgery, so it was a day after the surgery. Massaging my thigh helped and I still feel numbness but it doesn't compare to how it felt at the beginning. Sometimes it felt like a burning sensation and it worsened depending on the side I was sleeping on. Talk to your dr about it. My dr didn't really say much about it but massaging helps. Hopefully it goes away for good. I'm going on 4 months post sleeve surgery, btw.

@atontor: yes it is! It feels weird too and it gets more painful for me when I'm in bed and that's when it gets to where it feels like my leg's on fire!

Hi. I had those same symptoms of pins and needles to thinking of blood clots. Ask your dr about the bovie pad. I was given a Rx for lidocaine patch and it has helped. I still feel the pain but not as extreme. I'm hoping it gets better over time.Oh gosh! So do I! Good luck with that and I sure will talk to him about that. I also feel like burning at times! Hope we get better ????

I have numbness on my right upper thigh as well. I'm hoping to speak to the surgeon soon. ????

That's weird that doctors act like they don't know when I have also read many stories of this happening to bariatric patients. I had my surgery 7/28/15 and have had numbness on my right thigh since surgery. I freaked out thinking I might have a blood clot and I injected myself with the enoxaparin, only to be scolded by the nurse because I injected myself 3 hours earlier than I should have. I kept calling and no one seems to really address the problem. They say it might be from the anesthesia or nerve damage (!) but... "On to a more important subject" is what I felt like. Um I have pain! It's not just numb, it feels like pins on my thigh! I really hope you get a straight answer. Keep us posted. I will talk to my surgeon soon, I'm just hoping this goes away soon!

Omg. I feel the exact same thing. Tomorrow I'll be a week post-op and I'm usually a strong and optimistic woman. I was that way before the surgery and right after. I think even yesterday! But today just turned cloudy on me. I feel angry that I had to go to these extremes for weight loss, angry that I can't eat what I want, guilty for having modified my body like this. Just so many emotions. Yes I know the results will come, this is the best decision I could have made for my health, etc. but at this very moment I am just feeling blue! ????

You look amazing! Good job! Hope my results are similar to yours!????????

You look amazing! ????????????

This is a big change for us and it's frustrating that these surgeons have a set time for when it's ok to do this or that. I'm lucky to have a stay-at-home job but I understand that everyone is different and I would hate to feel rushed. Hope you get your time off ????

You all look awesome. I'm 6 days post op. Some of you look good enough for me at 2 months out! Wow ????
