    Wow I see other comments that people had similar bruises. I did not bruise at all, not even like in the first picture. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    That looks a little like a Rothko. The bruising does seem extreme. In your place, I'd call my surgery practice in the morning with the measurements of the bruise and see what they say. @@ayahbeslee

If she's correct, the bruise will take its time to clear up.

Mine looked almost exactly the same and I did not have a single problem.

Wow! I had just one bruise similar to the top pic, from my heparin shots. Did you hurt yourself At all? Bump into anything? You'll be even more susceptible to bruising after the heparin shots, but have your doc take a look. Sometimes what makes us worry doesn't impress them, sometimes it does, better safe than sorry :)

looks like heparin bruising except that it is just on one side. Did they give you blood thinner injections post op? Did they just do them on the one side? they are supposed to alternate sides. If it is from the blood thinner injections, it will take a long time to completely disappear - several weeks.

I have not had my sleeve, yet. But my belly looked like that after a different surgery because I was too active. I was suppose to be resting. How much are you walking?
