I am 3 days post-op and I just noticed that I have a really big bruise on my lower belly (sort of on the underside of my "apron") about the size of a fist. Did anyone else have this? I didn't see anything in the warnings that said anything about this, but I thought I'd just check... thanks guys!

Did you have blood thinner? I still have bruises were they gave me the shots on my lower abdomen.

I stil have vey faded bruises around my abdomen nearly 5 months out, that on your lower abdomen is probably just from one of the laparoscopic instruments or even the surgeons elbow leaning on you during surgery

Yes I definately have a bruise there. It is pretty big. I meant to ask the PA when I had my followup but I forgot.

Most likely from a heparin shot given to prevent clots.

Yes, I have a bruise on my lower left "apron" area. They did give me plenty of shots right there. HMMMMM? Wonder why we all have this bruise.

I have a bruise right there from giving myself blood thinner shots for 10 days after surgery. Did you have to do this? Or did they do it for you? I'll be that's what it is.

As others has posted this is from the blood thinner shots. I had to give myself shots in the stomach for 14 days after surgery and one I did the lowest has the biggest bruise and is still there. This is common and nothing to worry about it. I have various sizes of bruises all over my lower stomach from these shots.

Oh yes, I have a humungous bruise down the middle of my lower belly too. I thought it was caused by the BOUGIE that they shove down there... maybe that's nearest where they insert it or something???

It is now a little over 2 weeks and the bruise is fading though, so it will go away. Something surgery related definitely.

Good luck with it...

I have bruises all over my lower abodomen too but just chalked those up to the blood thinner shots. In some areas I have small hard bumps. I figured this was from the injection sites. Did/does anyone else have this?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
