    Hi all,

    I'm 3 days post op and feeling better. However, when I went to look at my incisions this morning, I noticed some bruising around my stomach. One bruise is right on one of the incisions but another bruise is off to the right and nowhere near an incision site. Is this normal? Has anyone else had bruising post op? Thanks for everything, rock on guys!

    The bruising showed up around day 2 or 3 and some of it has gone, but there is still some I have and I'm 10 days out. Just like any other bruise, I'm sure they will go away pretty quick. Mine doesn't even hurt. Just looks purple

    I'm 3 weeks out and still have some pretty good bruising. It didnt show up until 3 days post op and it doesn't hurt just looks icky, a good deep purple now. Oddly its only on one side of my stomach...

    Ok, so it's just a normal part of the healing process. Thanks, ladies.

    Don't worry about it, I had bruising also. I am in week 4 and just have a tiny bit of bruising left.

    I had my surgery on Monday. As of this morning, all the bruises along the middle and right side have connected! I am one big bruise.

    My bruises showed up about day 9-10. I called the doc and he said it was normal.
