Incision area discolored. (Picture)



Recommended Posts

So i noticed one of my incisions the area around it is discolored. The rest are fine. Anyone have any info on their experience? No pain, no smell, nothing. My follow up is on Monday.

Looks normal (and fresh). My incisions turned yellowish green too. So long as there's no discharge, swelling or fever you're likely fine. Good to check with your doctor too. Here's what mine looked like one week post op.Screenshot_20220428-215518.jpg

In my opinion that actually looks pretty good. Ive seen some deep bruising on ppl after surgery but yours looks pretty good. Its healing so it will more than likely have different colors going on.

I think it’s just bruising too. They do a lot of pushing & prodding at those sites. They’ll continue to fade & have colour change. It looks like you’re healing well.

They look really good. No odd or unusual discoloration.

I actually sent the pictures to my surgeons PA thru a messaging app the hospital has last night and she responded this morning saying its fine. That only if its really red or really warm that its a cause for concern. Thanks everyone

Maybe it's the Dermabond glue highlighting the bruising and making it appear darker? I'm not sure, but it looks like a nicely healing incision to me.

That looks about the same as mine did. I think you are fine.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
