Brief Answer:
No worries; sensation should return slow

Detailed Answer:
Hi there .
This type of a paraesthesia is of a pretty common occurrence. It is termed meralgia paraesthetica in medical parlance.
Don't worry...it is probably on account of the tight jeans & 'genes' put together ;-) ...please do lose some weight & if it does not get better in a week please do meet up with an orthopaedic or spine surgeon. If in XXXXXXX will be happy to point you in the direction of one..if not, please look up this healthcaremagic site for one in your neck of the woods.
For the moment, relax....it will recover & perhaps some nerve being pinched in the area because of pressure or positional issues.
Good Luck & Godspeed.
