Big Bruise

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.

1st fill (Jan. 11, 2008) = 3 cc
2nd fill (March 14, 2008) = 1 cc
3rd fill (June 13, 2008) = 1 cc
COMPLETE UNFILL (August 6, 2008) due to gallbladder surgery and complications
4th fill (August 20, 2008) = 4 cc Yippee!!!
5th fill (September 17, 2008) = 1 cc

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.
