TAH Belly still numb?

Okay, please tell me I'm not the only one. I have a fairly large spot of my belly that is still numb. I had a TAH
May 24th and I am still numb...it's making me crazy....

My hyst was in June and my belly still has numb places, and sore places and places that sting when I am on my feet too long without resting.

I had a vertical incision, and don't remember much numbness with that one. About 8 months later I had an incisional hernia repaired, using the same incision line. That was about 6 months ago, and it's still numb, but only along the incision itself.

I had stomach surgery back in 93. It was a vertical incision, and after all this time, it's still numb. Sometimes scars are like that.

Sorry to have to say this but have talked to a couple of gals and they say YEARS! Years of numbness! At least we know we arent weird :-) It always makes me feel better when i say to someone "i feel weird" and they say "I had the same thing happen" makes me feel not so weird :-)

You're certainly not the only one! It can take up to a year for the nerve endings to regenerate, if at all. If you try a forum search, you'll discover many threads on the subject. Have you found our <link> Post-Op Page yet? It's packed with information, including an article on this very subject.

I'm over 5 years post-op and still numb, but don't even notice it anymore.

Sending all good wishes and positive thoughts!

My surgery was April 9th and my stomach on the right side of my incision is still numb. I was told it may never go away.

I called dr for same question and they said 4-6 months possibly longer for the nerves to "regrow" after surgery, nothing to worry about. I'm numb only directly above my incision; 3 weeks post op
I have to give injections to this site for my Multiple Sclerosis, so it was scary not feeling the area, so i will take the advise and have hope all will return in time. I did read the booklet this website suggested and i found the exercises mentioned help.

Honey, I had my TAH 7 months ago(Mar.31st) and my belly is still numb!!!!!Its driving me crazy!!!!

I had a TAH 4 and 1/2 weeks ago and I am numb above my incision, it is very strange! I hope it does not last forever!
