I also had the same thing and it seems to be normal. It is you healing from the inside out. today is one week and a day from my surgery and that bruising is now gone. It should not last forever.

I had the same thing. The yellow bruising is a bruise that is healing. My bruises weren't all gone until about 2 1/2 weeks post op.

I am a person that bruises very easy. MY bruises lasted for about one month and they were deep purple. I also had the bruising on every incision. Don't worry its normal and it will get better.

I had mine removed on Friday and the only one that has the yellow bruise is the center one too, it's very normal, good luck to you Nancy:smile:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
