I always have bruising after a fill as well. Don't feel a thing during the fill, but the next day, I have bruising, and it hurts then for about a week. Nothing too major, just discomfort.

A bruise is merely blood collected under the skin...You figure the large needle they use it's bound to cause bleeding. Unfortunately the doc does not have x-ray vision, you can never tell when you are hitting a capilary which can cause a tiny amount of bleeding which will leave you bruised. It's nothing to worry about and will go away.

Ya, funny, that has never happened to me until my last fill. So I'd say I must have been lucky otherwise. It will go away though.

Nancy - I've had six fills - Driver describes the sensation well -- it's a slight pressure.

As for bruising, that happened to me once after my 5th fill - the size of a quarter - like ibshell76.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
