Numbness below the knees and feet?

I had RNY surgery on 6/25/03. 5 days post-op, I noticed my right leg feeling a little numb in the calf area. On day 6 post-op, I went for a walk around the small block of our neighborhood. As I was approaching our home, I was struggling to get back as I noticed numbness in my legs from the knees down and in my toes on both feet. The numbness lasted the rest of the evening, and was gone the next day. Day 8 post-op, I noticed it again, in my right leg, while in the car. Is this normal? What would cause this?
