Anybody Else Have Huge Bruise And Knot



Recommended Posts

From where the shot of heparin was given? It's been a little over two weeks and it's so dark and I have a knot or lump there. Its on a fat roll on my side. Kinda creeps me out.

My husband just finished telling me how "gnarly" mine looked...My poor thigh. Im glad I had the doctors give all mine in the same general location, otherwise Id look like a weird, lumpy dalmation! ;) They're pretty tender to touch too...Im 4 days post op and Im hoping they're gone sooner rather than later! :)

I gave myself heparin shots in the tummy... fortunately no bruising or hard lumps. im used to giving myself'' shots'' and take it real slow. that eases up on the bruising and the hard lumps. Hubbie and i do our own vit. B12 shots in the thigh and we dont have issues then either. It may well be the injection was given to you too quickly... not sure though.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
