Hi everyone!

Did anyone have massive bruising after surgery? I am covered & I'm not exaggerating! I have just seen pics of tummies that have no bruising what so ever!?

Just curious, THX!

Yes brushing is very normal, especially a few days post op.

I had a lot after my sleeve.

Think about all the little tunnels they create for the tools

I had one big bruise on my entire abdomen area( was enormous, I also have very sensitive skin)). I still have a little discoloring on my skin and am hoping it clears eventuslly. I am 12 weeks post op.

I only had bruising low on my stomach where I received the blood thinner shots -- bad, ugly bruising. I'm 12 days post op and they are starting to fade a bit. No bruises from the actual surgery - guess I was lucky with that.

11 weeks out. I had massive bruising too. Goes away without issues.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the responses! I got worked up because someone posted their tummy pics & she had nothing!? I am covered & bad!

I have about 7 "call the authorities because this woman is clearly in a domestic situation" bruises on the backs of both my arms. That's where they injected the blood thinner every 8 hours for the 3 days I was there. You forget they are there until someone's sweet granny walks up and says "be strong, you can leave" and walks away.

Everyone is different

All of us :-)

It's good to ask.

Went to my follow up yesterday & my surgeon said........I'M A BLEEDER! So that explains why I bruised the way I did!

I had some big bruises on my hips which are from being strapped onto the operating table. My tummy bruises weren't too bad. But they must have mashed my boobs strapping me onto that table cuz the girls were sore too, but no bruising. Sounds like I was taking part in an S&M club! LOL!
