LittleBill 2,231 Posted November 19, 2016 I had several bruises in odd places when I woke up from surgery. All of them disappeared eventually, and there were no complications. I attributed it to handling on the table. Anyone under sedation like that is pretty much a sack of meat that doesn't move around very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laura1116 112 Posted November 19, 2016 You are given Heparin after surgery so you do not get a blood clot. So bruising is normal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
