I am now one week post up. I woke up this morning with skin discoloration on my right arm next where they usually take blood from you.

Should I be concerned ?

It's probably bruising from being in the hospital. Sounds like nothing, but if you are concerned it doesn't hurt to call the doctor.

Khaled, my scheduled appointment with my bariatric surgeon was on a Monday, Saturday morning, I was perfectly fine, feeling good actually, by that afternoon, I felt like I had been beat with a bat. Sunday, I felt worse and the coughing started, no cold symptoms, just coughing and fatigue. I went to see my Bariatric surgeon in May for a pre-scheduled visit. I was complaining of severe fatigue, upper back pain and chest pain when I bent over , plus coughing. He sent me immediately to the emergency room because he though my sleeve was leaking. Come to find out, I had multiple blood clots in both lungs and had developed pneumonia in the left lung. My clots were from DVT but there was no discoloration on my legs. The point is check with your doctor, don't wait like I did. That's what they are there for.

Thank you all. My one week post up appointment is today. I will check with my doctor.

I hope I will be fine, I don't think I am ready for complications

I hope everything is fine

Most of us make it through perfectly fine. However if you are experiencing a little hiccup, it's good to catch it early. I hope all goes well for you!

My doctor says it is just bruising from the IV. Nothing to worry about.

Yes amen to hear such good news

Whew! I'm glad it was nothing serious.
