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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
