Hi guys! Hope everyone is doing welll. I had revision surgery on March 16. Doc was unable to proceed with sleeve but did remove my lap band, fixed up some scar tissue and sewed me up. A day or two later I started getting numbness in my left thigh. Then pins ans needles and pain. Stabbing pain. It's not going away. It's in the left thigh, side and top. Surgeon put me on neurontin for a month. He said maybe they way I was positioned during surgery. I've had No relief. Its so uncomfortable and painful. Has anyone ever experienced this or heard of this ? I think its time to seek another doctor's opinion too.

Never had this issue. Good thing that your keeping your doctor up to date with stuff and a second opinion never hurts. Are you in a state that Medical Pot is legal? It is much better for you than Neurontin (just sayin)

I have pain in my thighs... on the top and the side. I found out it was my Sciatica. I went to physical therapy for a few weeks.. and it was GONE. crazy.
