Can someone tell me what their incisions looked like 2 days post op? i have a lot of red and purple bruising?! is this normal?

Yes I had some wicked bruising around a couple of my incisions. Some were kind of red and ugly.

They get better pretty fast )

you will definately bruise, expecially if you are fair skinned like me. My doctor says to watch the insisions and if they get larger than an inch, if they are leaking yucky, smelly grossness from them then to let them know. Try keeping the area clean with a little hyrgenperoxide.

I had some bad bruising around my port incision (the large one) but it went away after a few days.

Keep an eye on it, also feel it. If it gets hot that may be a sign of infection as well.

This coming tuesday will be 3 weeks since i have been banded and i STILL have bruising around 3 of my incisions. they look A LOT better now...turning yellow and the purple is fading. I was concerned too, but the incisions themselves are doing great! i am sure they are going to fade to barely being noticable.
