I'm all bruised from the blood thinners also. Funny the incision sites aren't very bruised at all but my arms (where they have my the blood thinners) look like Hell!

I thought I was the only one with an abdominal bruise. It went away after a few weeks.

Oh yes!! And also with my gallbladder surgery 6 weeks after my sleeve? I looked like I'd been in a knife fight!!

Lmao I was so bruised from them shots they give you every 3 hours. I stayed bruised for three weeks DH got so worried he made me see the doc over them lol.

No bruises from the incisions, but i did get them from the hempernin shots

I didn't bruise on the incisions but I had huge bruises all over me. I think they dropped me when I was in the OR.

The heparin shots in my belly bruised the worst. And the bruising around my incisions is now turning a terrible shade of yellow. What once incited a 'poor baby, you've been through so much' now is just icky.
