The past three weeks I have been developing huge bruises on my legs and arms. They don't really hurt. I haven't been hitting into anything, the just show up at random. The are on the lower leg mostly but a few have shown up on my lower arm. They are very large about the size of a lemon, some bigger, some a tad smaller. I'm taking all my Vitamins including Iron.

Any idea if it maybe surgery related?

First thought-Iron deficiency, common in RNY patients and causes super easy bruising. Had any blood counts lately? If not, it's probably worth calling your doc!

I have the same issue and ive had blood work done and everything shows up normal. Its always interesting to see what new bruises show up. I had rny in january 2013 and never bruised like this before surgery.

I get them from time to time. I had one bruise that kept coming up in the same place on my upper arm. I could not for the life of me figure out what it was from. Finally one day I was at work and went to use my catch pole to catch a loose dog and the metal wire at the end of it snapped back and hit my arm in that same place. I had my answer.
