Hello! I have had a gall bladder surgery 7 days ago. Three days ago I lef the hospital and everything was fine but now I am experiencing numbness at the surgery area. How common is this? They told me nothing about it at the hospital. Thank you for your time!

Before I had my surgery done I was told about the possible side effects if I may call it like that. These included swelling and numbness at the incision, pain at the incision, and decreased appetite. These conditions are considered normal. For any other condition following the surgery like high temperature, severe pain, vomiting and alike you should call your doc. I hope everything works out well for you.
