I am having my RNY Tuesday and I was told that after the surgery, I would be one huge bruise on my abdomen. Is this true? Will the bruising be that bad?
Can anyone tell me how bad they were bruised?

Thanks,

Hon.....you WILL bruise pretty bad but don't worry about it....it will go away, You won't bruise so much from the surgery ( especailly if it is done lap ) but from the Heprin shots given in your tummy to prevent blood clots. Those are necessary!!!!

I've seen some with serious bruising, I had NONE. It's just a warning so if it happens you aren't totally freaked out, lol. I have never bruised easily, if you are susceptible to easy bruising you may experience it.

I don't remember being real bruised. The heprin shots will bruise if you rub them so try real hard not to!! Tuesday will be the begining of a whole new wonderful life!! Will keep you in my prayers!

I didn't have much bruising at all. A few days after surgery there were light bruises about 1/2 inch in diameter around only some of my incisions, and that is it. It is probably different for different people.

I had sugery last monday and I have had very little if any bruiseing. I don't even have any bruising from the lovenox shots i have been taking. But when I had my tubal I was very bruised. It has to do with how gentle your surgeon is...guess mine was great!
