No, this is dangerous, blood clots have formed in your leg veins from the ankle to the high thigh, this is serious and hospitalization is needed.

A prevention program should have been applied by your orthopaedic surgeon for prevention of such a situation.

Does gastric bypass surgery cause bruises?

Gastric bypass surgery itself does not typically cause bruising directly; however, some patients may experience bruising around the incision sites due to the surgical procedure. Bruising can occur as a result of surgical trauma or the use of blood-thinning medications during or after the surgery. It's important for patients to follow post-operative care instructions and report any unusual or excessive bruising to their healthcare provider. Overall, slight bruising can be a normal part of the healing process.

It is more of a sterile procedure under local aneasthesia rather than a surgery as such.The placement of the stent is acheived by the catheter which is usually inserted either radially(from the arm) or femorally (from the groin). The catheter on the skin leaves only a small mark.It leaves some bruising marks on the arm because of the angle, the arm is kept for manouvering the catheter. This is normal as i consider this.This is from my own experience as i underwent the procedure in May,2009.

You had arthroscopic knee surgery last week how do know what is normal or abnormal bruising?

I am sure you have had a bruise on your body in the past, a black or blue mark that fades to green or yellow before fading altogether. Abnormal bruising is just that, abnormal, bruises that do not behave like normal bruises: black or blue marks that follow veins (infection), bruises so painful that movement is hindered, bruises that have something solid in them, bruises that get larger, bruises of non-bruise colors (red, white), etc.
