Can Numbness Of Lips Be Related To Having Gallbladder Removed?

I had my gallbladder removed yesterday morning. I was discharged from the hospital last night. when I woke up this morning my bottom lip was numb and my whole body from my abdominal up was sore. Is any of this normal? I m more concerned about my chest soreness and my bottom lip being numb. PLEASE HELP

Welcome at HCM..
I have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns....
Based upon the history you have provided I don't think your symptoms are associated with your surgery done.... All you need is stay calm and take rest. Don't be panic.. .
Is there any abdominal distension? Are you passing flatus regularly?? If yes no need to worry ..
It is probably due to prolonged restriction of oral diet after surgery.. It will be okay..once you mobilized and start taking oral diet... Meanwhile continue with your medications....
If it persist you need to be checked your serum calcium levels.
Stat safe and get well soon...
Regards
