Did anyone ever have pain and numbness in the leg after surgery?

Since my Lap RNy srugery on 3/25 I have had some degree of numbness and pain in my right thigh. I talked to the doctor and his nurse who also had the surgery herself. They said it was from having my legs elevated during the insertion of the tube in my throat. The weight of my abdomen put pressure on a disc or nerve in my back and the pain and numbness would go away after some time. I tend to believe this since I had disc surgery 7 years ago and the pain and numbness is very similar to what I went thru back then. The amount of numbness and pain is a lot less than right after surgery wo I believe its getting better. Anyone els have this problem. Thanks in advance, Don.
