bruising at incision sites



Recommended Posts

My gf had her sleeve done 1 week before mine. I am now 5 days post op. I have bruising at 3 of my sites, she has none....just curious if anyone else did...I am sure it is just a normal variant...

I had bruising around the incision above the belly button, and in fact, the bruising is still there. Surgery was 10/16 and I was told by many that the bruising is quite normal.

I was given some blood thinners via injection. The bruising where I was given the shots looked horrible for a while. I had forgotten about the shots, but asked about the bruises at my one week appointment. That's when the nurse said "those are from the blood thinners"...

My surgery was 8 days ago. I still have bruising on all my incision sites and at the 2 heparin injection sights. The bruising around my belly button is the worse. So your bruising is normal. Your gf is so lucky to not have bruising!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
