Think about all the little tunnels they create for the tools 1 Molly3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yazzy 105 Posted June 12, 2013 I had one big bruise on my entire abdomen area( was enormous, I also have very sensitive skin)). I still have a little discoloring on my skin and am hoping it clears eventuslly. I am 12 weeks post op. 1 Molly3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MizzouGirl 148 Posted June 12, 2013 I only had bruising low on my stomach where I received the blood thinner shots -- bad, ugly bruising. I'm 12 days post op and they are starting to fade a bit. No bruises from the actual surgery - guess I was lucky with that. 1 Molly3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Molly3 495 Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the responses! I got worked up because someone posted their tummy pics & she had nothing!? I am covered & bad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1stBabeBorn5th 51 Posted June 12, 2013 I have about 7 "call the authorities because this woman is clearly in a domestic situation" bruises on the backs of both my arms. That's where they injected the blood thinner every 8 hours for the 3 days I was there. You forget they are there until someone's sweet granny walks up and says "be strong, you can leave" and walks away. 4 MizzouGirl, thedivinemsQ, Chelenka and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Molly3 495 Posted June 18, 2013 Went to my follow up yesterday & my surgeon said........I'M A BLEEDER! So that explains why I bruised the way I did! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelenka 827 Posted June 18, 2013 I had some big bruises on my hips which are from being strapped onto the operating table. My tummy bruises weren't too bad. But they must have mashed my boobs strapping me onto that table cuz the girls were sore too, but no bruising. Sounds like I was taking part in an S&M club!
