Exactly the same! I am six weeks post surgery (left lower lobe) and am in the same boat. I’ve been told it can take up to six months before you can get feelings back. However, looked into it -searched the web, I’ve been massaging it, also tapping on my tummy a tiny bit and this has helped my situation. Good luck with yours

@cathyrosa , welcome to Mayo Connect. Sorry to hear that you are having to deal with any of this! It sounds like you are well on your way to healing and recovery. Six weeks is still fairly early, so give yourself some time for healing too. Are you back to most of your 'normal' activities? How's your recovery been going?
