I have dark skin so I had very small bruises and I had sugical glue no tape...I will see if I can find a pic...the redness on your tummy has me worried.

I looked like that too. I would say its normal. Any questions call your doctor if you think it's really bad. Good luck.

Thank you both so much

You're welcome

My wife had some bruises like that post-op too. In fact, she was pissed that I didn't even bruise... Lol, the only bruise I had was on my hand from the IV. Vein kept rolling, took 3 tries.

I am going to say the bruising is all dependant on if you easily bruise to begin with.

Normal, and will probably get yellow and bluish even more before they are healed. Best wishes, Karen

I think it looks pretty much like mine - so I hope that's normal. Lol

I had a strange occurrence yesterday. The large port incision started bleeding a little. Not flowing or anything, but spotty blood stains on my shirt. I don't know if I pulled something loose or what. I put a few bandaids on the area. Very sore there still, understandably. I see the doc on Thursday and I'm not so concerned that I need to call him today. Just found it odd that almost two weeks post-op and that wound hasn't healed up completely. I told my husband I just can't sweep the floor or vacuum or any other housework for another couple of weeks. Works for me!

Rosie---you are too energetic! Slow down! You probably stressed the site a little too much with all the activity that you do. Believe me, I've got my kids waiting on me hand and foot.

My surgeon has told me that if I have any questions about incision site I can email him a picture. I love having his direct email! I bruise easily so I'm sure mine will look horrible. Good luck with your recovery!

I'm sure you are right and I am really trying. I have such a hard time not doing anything. One day, maybe, but I always feel I'm going to miss something if I'm not right in the thick of it! Several of our hubbies are away golfing for three days so my girlfriends and I are going to play. They will make sure I don't over-extend. Gotta love girlfriends!

Today the bruising is better. Still sore but that's to be expected. Thank you all for being so caring and helpful
