My poor husband is having a heart attack over the amount of bruising I have near by 2 left incisions and the one right under by belly button. There is minimum bruising around the other 4 incisions. I'll be hones, it's pretty damn shocking but they don't hurt so I'm not concerned. Anyone else have bad bruises? I'm really fair skinned. I have a bruise on my arm from the IV and on my hand from where they drew blood too.

I had horrible bruising. Lasted several weeks.

some bruising is likely with ANY surgery due to the fact that you were cut and surgical scopes used which stretch the skin.

if your surgeon has you taking Lovenox now or if you had Heparin in the hospital, expect severe bruising but that's generally still ok.

check with your surgeon's nurse as she may tell you to ice down the area where the bruises are, but each surgeon is different so ask them what they recommend.

good luck!
