Your incision cuts across many nerve endings. I recall having a similar situation that improved and went away over time.

Your body could eventually feel more normal, but your best bet is asking your surgeon about this. If he does not give you an answer that you find satisfactory, and if in 6 months time you still have the problem, you may want to seek a medical settlement attorney.

I think 60lbs in 4 months is pretty normal. I had similar stats. Also, please don't compare yourself to others who may have more weight to lose than you, or who may have had more drastic procedures than you had. I think you're doing just fine at the rate you have stated.
