Has anyone else experienced this after sleeve ?

[Leafstrong 14]

My stomach has been hurting more & more … I am 11 days po from sleeve ….I called my doctor today she thinks it might be a hematoma & said if it don’t open & drain I can call Monday & she can see about draining it ….I’m a bit nervous still on 100mg lovanox for 4 more days for previous pe …. Before I can switch back to my eliquis …
Before the call I was thinking
maybe hernia at first as I did go through a radical hysterectomy, c section, & tubal before this surgery…

Has anyone else seen anything like this or gone through this before???

I also have bruising and a bump by my belly button. I spoke to the doctor about it over the phone on Thursday and he wasn't that concerned, yet. He said there was a possibility it might be a hematoma, though, so he said for me to keep an eye on the size if the bruise & color, (it should be moving to green & yellow soon). I would need to come in if I see no improvement in the next few days.

I was also thinking I might have a hernia when I told him, but he didn't seem to think it was that.

After my c-section with my daughter, I had a Seroma, it is a build up of Fluid near surgery sites, so that is another possibility of what I think mine might be. If it is that, it will need to be drained also.

It may be best to go to your doctor Monday, so she can see if it needs attention. I feel like it is always better to be overly cautious when it comes to medical concerns.

Wishing you quick healing & lots of luck with your progress.

I was wondering how your doing? Did you get a chance to see the doctor?
