The removal of the gallbaldder and accompanying surgery has no connection with LEFT upper leg numbness.

Numbness after gallbladder surgery

I have read many forums about this now. And almost every doctor seems to say that it doesn't have anything to do with the surgery, BUT THE NUMBNESS COMES AFTER SURGERY!. I don't think its a coincidence. It would be nice to have a straight forward answer instead of doctors beating around the bush about this.

This question has been answered by the doctor. This topic is now open for public discussion, however no comments below this point will be answered by a doctor.
