4 days post op, does this look normal?



Recommended Posts

First full body picture was earlier today, I went for a walk, body cramped up stomach and shoulder hurt like hell. went a little too far(apparently even though it was nothing really) anyway, now I'm laying in bed and it looks like this. Does this look normal ? Should I call my doctor tomorrow?

Seepage is normal after a surgery like this. If you feel like the incision sites are compromised you should call your doctor.

Looks like bruising? Unless your incision has come open or you have foul smelling discharge or a feverish site you are probably ok. Normal walking should not have caused any problems.Of course throw the generic disclaimer in to always check with your surgeon if you are concerned. :)

It's just that the bruising want there before I went for the walk and now it's covered in the huge spots so I wasn't sure.

Call doctor if still concerned in morning. If you develop a fever consider going to ER.

I think it is normal, too! But don't just go to ER, call your surgeon before you do that! Best wishes, Karen

It looks like a hematoma which is just blood beneath the skin. I get them frequently during blood draws with inexperienced nurses.

If the area is tender or warm to the touch see your dr immediately but if the only strange thing is bruised like coloration I wouldn't worry too much. You probably just had a capillary open up near the incision site.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
