Has Anybody Else...

Noticed that their stomach area (where we have our incisions) is numb? I feel itchy but when I rub my stomach I don't feel anything. Kinda weird...

  • Yeah, both itchy and numb are normal, a bunch of nerves were cut in the tissue when making the incision. After a while the nerves heal for the most part, I had a few days where I had a real bad sting

I had surgery last wed. and I am itchy but not numb.

I didnt have the numbness, but the itchy feeling will stop. Just means it is healing. The itchy feeling almost drove me crazy.

Had surgery 2weeks ago also I have 2 1" incisions since I was a lapband to sleeve revision. So they're sore and itchy it will get better.. I have a bruised belly still from the blood thinner shots I had there. I've been using polysporin on my incisions to make them heal better.

Yeah, both itchy and numb are normal, a bunch of nerves were cut in the tissue when making the incision. After a while the nerves heal for the most part, I had a few days where I had a real bad stinging sensation, the doc said it was the severed nerves healing and firing off, something like the phantom limb pain that amputees feel, although a LOT less severe. It will likely pass, if it doesn't go back to the doc and get it checked out.
