I had dents at 3 of my 6 incisions. I had a couple lumps too. 6 weeks later they are pretty much gone. Normal, I guess.

This seems really weird but I have a dent in my stomach. Is that normal?

I have a big one where the camera was put in during laparoscopy bypass.

One of my fellow WLS friends asked our surgeon because she had the same problem. They said it's from the surgery and will go away.

One day about a week after surgery, I was visiting my mom and her dog (a small Chihuahua) jumped on me and bumped my abdomen. It didn't even hurt, but I had just taken my blood thinner and I later noticed a platter sized maroon and black bruise that had a lump in the center. I showed the doctor and he didn't seem concerned. All that remains now is a little lump only I feel.

I think it's just all the trauma from the laparoscopic instruments. Mine look really good. Only the largest incision is still healing. The swelling and dents are gone.

I've been on blood thinners about 3 years and I gave bruises all the time and hardly ever know where or how they got there just the tints bump and your bruised

No longer on thinners. My surgeon required them for 10 days post op.

Some need to know there is a difference in blood thinners and Levonix shots are to help to prevent blood clots Blood thinners thin the blood to prevent blood clots If your on blood thinners you have to stop before surgery 1 week and usually do a bridge with the shots to prevent clots

      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?
