So I'm 5 weeks out and I've noticed in the past week my face, in particular, is numb. It's like a Novocain feeling. Every once in a while I can feel it up my arm lightly, or my chest and stomach. I'm not on any meds, other than my supplements. Anyone else have this?

Thanks in advance for any info on what could be causing this.
 
See your doc. This is very likely not at all surgery related and needs to be evaluated. Don't wait for weeks on end, either. Do it SOON.
 
Update: numbness was low B12. I have been taking it daily, but I guess I needed to take a little more! So, now taking an extra one every other night until next labs or symptoms reappear. I also was 2 liters low on fluids, so I got that topped off while I was in.

Thanks all!
 
Thanks for posting this. Another lesson learned about deficiency symptoms.

Funny how we are all so different. I love my B12, but my labs came back so sky high I had to quite taking it.
