Big Bruise



Recommended Posts

Hi

Had my second fill today and really feeling good, but at the end of the day when I had a look at the site where the doctor put the needle in was this great big brusie, really bad one that makes me fell sick just looking at it. I didn't feel a thing at the fill and It dosen't really hurt, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them

thanks

I haven't yet but I was told after my first fill that some people experience bruising.

I have had three fills and for two of them I did have very angry bruises. It's normal. Don't fret. I mean if it takes up your entire stomach call the Dr, but if it just small don't let the darkness scare you. It will go away.

I just had my first fill on Wednesday and I too have a bruise which will definately go away. The funny thing is that the pressing that the doctor did on my port to locate it hurt more than the needle.

Yup, three out of my four fills caused an ugly bruise. They are about the size of a silver dollar, and they take three weeks to go away. I don't know why they last so long, but they don't hurt.

my first fill is Sept. 3. But I do bruise very easily. When I went to the hospital to give blood 2 weeks prior to surgery, I had a humungo bruise just from where they took my blood. And she only stuck me once. Here I was only thinking about the needle going in, forgot all about the fact that I'll probably look like some one played Rocky on my belly.:)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
