Bruising-Worried

[knewland 14]

Need some reassurance....I was banded a week ago today. It has been seven days and I still have so much bruising. Like purple bruising. I even had just a bit of bleeding today (may have done something to irritate it while working out) on the port site incision. Nothing major. I just cannot stand to look at myself and will feel much better if it is normal. I am going to call the doc tomorrow AM to get their opinion but wanted to see if any of you had any opinions on this. Thanks so much!!

I have some bruising too. But call your doctor just to let him be aware and just in case he wants to check you out.

My bruises are in other areas, but you should call no matter what.

Bruising will last for a bit, apart from walking, not sure you should be working out just yet.

i had yellow/purple brusing for almost a month (around my port site)

i am sure its 100% fine. but def check with the dr for reassurance and confirmation as they are the ones to ask for any issues. congrats on your surgery
