1 WEEK POST OP-bruising, swelling and pain

[newbirth1230 23]

Hi guys! So i wanted to find out from the veteran sleevers is pain and bruising normal 7 days postop.

The day of surgery my dr had to go back in and place a drain due to a hematoma i developed.

It was removed this past Wednesday. I have developed bruising where the drain was and its still painful. My stomach is also very swollen. Is this normal? Thank you in advance!
