Did anyone else experience yellowing of skin around any of their incisions? My mom says it's just bruising. I thought I'd come out there and see what those that are post op have experienced.

As always... Thanks soo much for your input!!!

your mom is right is it just bruising
 Before VSG  300 - 255 = 45 pounds
 First               255 - 228 = 27 pounds Second          228 -221 = 7 pounds
 Third              221- 215 = 6 pounds Fourth            215 -208 = 7pounds
 Fifth               208 - 204 = 4 pounds Sixth               204 - 200 = 4 pounds
total 100pounds
