Anyone else experiencing numbness in part of their stomach?

I'm 15 1/2 months post-op RNY and lately there are times when I'm feeling a sort of numbness in the right hand side of my stomach, lower than my pouch would be - sort of even with my belly button and a bit higher. Perhaps numbness isn't the right word, since we don't usually "feel" our stomach at all and maybe it's a kind of pins and needle feeling. It doesn't hurt at all and I've got no other problems/complications. It just feels slightly odd, and I wonder what could be causing it this far out? Is it possible to have a hernia and not experience it as painful? I do have excess skin in this area as I've not had a tummy tuck yet, but it only occurs on the right side whereas the skin is on both sides of my belly button!
