Big Bruise



Recommended Posts

Hi

Had my second fill today and really feeling good, but at the end of the day when I had a look at the site where the doctor put the needle in was this great big brusie, really bad one that makes me fell sick just looking at it. I didn't feel a thing at the fill and It dosen't really hurt, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them

thanks

I haven't yet but I was told after my first fill that some people experience bruising.

I have had three fills and for two of them I did have very angry bruises. It's normal. Don't fret. I mean if it takes up your entire stomach call the Dr, but if it just small don't let the darkness scare you. It will go away.

I just had my first fill on Wednesday and I too have a bruise which will definately go away. The funny thing is that the pressing that the doctor did on my port to locate it hurt more than the needle.

Yup, three out of my four fills caused an ugly bruise. They are about the size of a silver dollar, and they take three weeks to go away. I don't know why they last so long, but they don't hurt.

my first fill is Sept. 3. But I do bruise very easily. When I went to the hospital to give blood 2 weeks prior to surgery, I had a humungo bruise just from where they took my blood. And she only stuck me once. Here I was only thinking about the needle going in, forgot all about the fact that I'll probably look like some one played Rocky on my belly.:)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
