I had RNY on 3/15 and since then I have developed a numbness in my left forearm that runs down to my pinkie and ring fingers. I have the same numbness in my right thigh from my hip to my knee. Anyone know what this is from?

Have you ever had numbness before? I get numbness in my left thigh sometimes but it is from a pinched nerve in my back. Maybe during the surgery and all of the laying around later you have pinched a nerve? I am by no means a medical professional. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

Just wanted to add that I agree, you may want to talk to a healthcare professional about the numbness you are experiencing! I hope it subsides soon for you!

Thanks for the responses, I have 2 week post op appointment on Tuesday. I'll follow up with my surgeon. I suppose it could be a pinched nerve but I don't have any aches or pains anywhere else.
