TT bruising after 3 weeks - normal???
Question for those of your further along in the TT recovery process than I am...
Today I am three weeks post op but I have developed a bruise from the left side of my belly button up towards my sternum - it very tender and painful. I did also have the muscle repair, but shouldn't the brusing and tender to the touch stuff be done by now?
This bruising and tender area is specifically located very close and over/under where my LB port has ended up.
All incisions from the extended TT are all closed and everything else looks great. Any ideas? Or is this type of situation normal and I am worried about nothing?
Thanks again,
Kelly

I'm 7 weeks out from lbl/bl. I only had one small bruise right after surgery, next to my right nipple. If you haven't already done so, call or e-mail your doctor!! It sounds like it is related to your port.
