Question:

Since being 1 mos out from RNY I am having mobility issues and severe pain in my left hip and knee down to my foot. I get numbness and pain. I cannot sleep and it hurts to move. I've only lost 21 lbs since surgery? Is this normal?    — dawn5311 (posted on September 15, 2011)

Congrats on the loss:) Some post ops get pain from the way they were strapped down to the table during surgery. Give your doc a call for help. Congrats for joining the loosing side:)

I had pain in my left hip/thigh area when I had RNY 2 years ago. They said it was from how I was strapped to the table during surgery. It did subside after some weeks and I have not had any side effects from it. Congratulations! Your life is about to change.

I had terrible pain in my total leg. My problem was sciatica, man I was in pain, I went to the Dr. Recently I had breast augmentation, was in bed so much that the pain game back, I slept with two pillow under my knees, and I kept putting ice packs on my back, it went a way. I would go to the Dr for you pain. You have to walk daily, I would go to my grocery store and walk at first, that way I could keep hold of the cart when I felt like heck. It isn't easy!
