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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
