coolbreze 5 Posted May 25, 2013 Should I be concerned about extra bruising that I didn't see before. I am asking for a friend that was sleeved Monday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreekGirl 20 Posted May 25, 2013 I had a lot of bruising too. They give you blood thinner and I think that helps you bruise easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn0429 5 Posted May 25, 2013 I was also sleeved on Monday. I do have additional bruising but it is due to the Lovenox shots they give in the stomach so you don't get blood clots after surgery. My bruising is about a 50 cent piece in size on my lower abdomen . I also have bruising around each surgical site that is a little larger than a quarter. Hope this helps. If it is much larger then that she might need to contact her surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
