Debbiebydesign 93 Posted March 23, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do u know what that's from?[/quote'] 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
padlrd 183 Posted March 24, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Debbiebydesign 93 Posted March 24, 2013 No longer on thinners. My surgeon required them for 10 days post op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
padlrd 183 Posted March 24, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
