Bruising

[meganmom 169]

Did anyone have bruising around your big incision? My hurts a lot and is yellow and brown. Wondering if this was normal?

I had the same thing. Bruise took over a week to go away. I had my two week follow up today, the doctor said that's perfectly normal

I only had very slight bruising, it was a bit yellow, but I'm 2 and a half weeks out and still have a good amount of pain at my large incision. I'm just now starting to be able to sit up to get out of bed instead of rolling out!

Okay glad it's normal. It's been so sore.

It hurts and would definitely have more bruising because they pulled the stomach out through that incision, and there was more surface area of muscle compromised by that. It also likely contains stitching in the muscle layer as well (which also causes more pain).

You're on my mind so I will wanted to check in to see how everything is going with you. How's it going?

Aw thanks! I am doing a lot better. One week 2 days post op and feeling better! Eating puréed food is amazing even if it's only a couple of bites. Seriously a couple of bites and I am good. The bruising is still there and hurts a little when I move a certain way or bend but other than that it is healing great and I feel pretty good. I go to the doctor for my check up tomorrow. Can't wait to see how much I have lost!!

This was my belly one day out--it was bruised and red for about 12 days! I'm about a month out and haven't had any issues!

Yep that is about what mine looks like. Feels a lot better now though!
