5 weeks post op bruise ?



Recommended Posts

Anyone still have bruising around 5 weeks post op? Pic attached . I have this slight bruising by my main incision. I really didn't even realize it until now and hope it's not new. I'm sure I'm just paranoid ....😩 I did take Lovenox. But only for a week after surgery

I am 6 weeks out and have had one bruise about the size of a fist right near my main incision. I asked my surgeon at 2 week checkup and he said no worries, pretty common. Also, its about 6 shades greener and purple still at 6 weeks out :(

I didn't have bruises near my incisions, but the incisions themselves are still red. And you can still see exactly where I got all my heparin shots, 5 weeks later. Those things bruise like mad. Bodies are weird!

I am 4 weeks post op and my stomach looks like a battlefield. From the surgery to the heparin shots...just part of the journey.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
