ayahbesleeved 63 Posted December 19, 2016 No that's not normal. They probably gave u too much heparin Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) That looks a little like a Rothko. The bruising does seem extreme. In your place, I'd call my surgery practice in the morning with the measurements of the bruise and see what they say. @@ayahbesleeved made a reasonable suggestion, but I'm no expert. If she's correct, the bruise will take its time to clear up. Edited December 19, 2016 by WLSResources/ClothingExch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deb2571 70 Posted December 19, 2016 I looked similar to that. Not quite as bad but close in the same area. It will take about a month for that bruise to go away. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clarevoyant 347 Posted December 19, 2016 Wow I see other comments that people had similar bruises. I did not bruise at all, not even like in the first picture. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cklasun 33 Posted December 19, 2016 Wow! I had just one bruise similar to the top pic, from my heparin shots. Did you hurt yourself At all? Bump into anything? You'll be even more susceptible to bruising after the heparin shots, but have your doc take a look. Sometimes what makes us worry doesn't impress them, sometimes it does, better safe than sorry Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dayna2017 53 Posted December 19, 2016 Oh my gosh! I haven't had my surgery yet but that looks frightening to me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heidikat72 935 Posted December 19, 2016 looks like heparin bruising except that it is just on one side. Did they give you blood thinner injections post op? Did they just do them on the one side? they are supposed to alternate sides. If it is from the blood thinner injections, it will take a long time to completely disappear - several weeks.

mbuczkowski 272 Posted December 19, 2016 I have not had my sleeve, yet. But my belly looked like that after a different surgery because I was too active. I was suppose to be resting.
