Your blood is thinner now. You will bleed from every little thing so be careful. I did stomach shots of blood thinners for 10 days and the internal bleeding - bruising - was so bad my ENTIRE stomach area was totally purple. Don't be alarmed; it just means the drug is doing what it should.

If you are worried or have questions you should call your doctor right away. We can offer opinions or advice but as far as I know there are no band doctors or nurses on forum.

Thanks. My sister is a nurse and calmed me down! It wasn't buckets but the sight if it was enough to make me freak out. Thank god for a sensible husband and a nurse for a sister. I also called the bariatric nurses who cared for me overnight. I wasn't asking for a diagnosis just if anyone else experienced this. Thank u for those who responded. I'm doing well so far headed into day three!

I was banded on 4/11/13 and only given one shot of blood thinner right before surgery and then one on the next day....I didn't bleed from the shot site...but the belly bruising was horrible. I think it was worse around the port site. Good to know that you had the same because I was starting to get a bit worried. Thanks for posting!

I am on day 24 and I still have a huge bruise from the shots. The bruising IS healing, but it has taken forever. I did bleed from one spot. It was like I rubbed the scab or something after a shot and I started bleeding. It was very strange, but being a MA I knew it was from the shot and medication than anything else.

Luckily I haven't had any bleeding. I was banded on February 27th 2013...
