Hey everyone! I have a quick question for you.

I have noticed that I have been getting a lot of bruises on my legs recently. They are all about the size of a quarter and are everywhere (probably 10 - 15 in total) has anyone else noticed this? Is it normal? I sort of freaked out last night when I went to take a bath and noticed all the little marks all over my legs. They go anywhere from my thighs to my ankles.

Thanks!

Are you on blood thinner? When in doubt, call your doctor.

I can say I bruise easier than I used to after losing the weight. Less cushion, I guess. My labs are fine, so it's not that. You should probably talk to your doc and maybe get some labs as bruising can be caused by Vitamin deficiencies. Think they did 3 month and 6 month labs on me anyway. Maybe a part of your follow up appointments?

Thanks Guys! I did shoot a quick email to my surgeon's nurse just asking her what her thoughts are as well.

My surgeon doesn't do any labs until 1 year out. I thought it was sort of weird but he's the expert.

I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue.

My surgeon does not do labs until 6 months out, which I thought was a little weird. The NP I saw last time is having me do labs before my next appointment 12/10, and I was sleeved 8/3. Can't wait to see how I do, good luck hope the bruising goes away

HAVE VITAMIN K CHECKED OR MAYBE ADD TO YOUR DAILIES, THAT'S WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME, EASILY BRUISING, BRUISES THAT STAYED FOREVER, BLEEDING GUMS WHEN I BRUSHED MY TEETH ETC, I READ UP ON IT AND STARTED TAKING ADDTL VITAMIN K AND PROBLEM IS SOLVED.
