downsizingdiva 459 Posted October 29, 2015 I HAD MY VSG IN JANUARY 2015, I'VE LOST OVER 120 LBS ALL TOGETHER. THIS WEEK I NOTICED THAT MY THIGHS ARE BLUISH IN COLOR. I HAVEN'T INJURED THEM AND I'M NOT COLD. I HAVE BEEN SPEED WALKING AND JOGGING BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WOULD CAUSE IT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INSIGHT??? THANKS A BUNCH!

Babbs 14,681 Posted October 29, 2015 I would see a doctor as soon as you can for it. Could be Cyanosis or a circulation issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted October 29, 2015 Is it cold where you live right now? Few things it could be....Cold exposure symptoms include color changes on the skin, numbness, stinging, redness, blisters, and more. Raynaud phenomenon is another possibility Raynaud's phenomenon causes color changes, coldness, tingling, and numbness in certain parts of the body. Venous insufficiency, Venous insufficiency causes pain, aching, skin rashes, and swelling in the legs also the oh so lovely Acrocyanosis, Symptoms of acrocyanosis include blue mottled skin of the hands and feet, cold hands, cold feet, and more. That's just a few possibilities. Listen to @@Babbs and call your physician to be safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lallylocks 111 Posted October 30, 2015 With my weight loss all the gnarly varicose veins I have are way more visible and I have lots of bruisy looking places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amberina 105 Posted November 3, 2015 I have had the blue jeans thing happen to me too!! I freaked out. I had just changed from my jeans to sleep shorts and was sitting in bed and noticed my legs and hands were blue. I finally realized it was from my jeans. I had been touching them with my hands. I was SO relieved!! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted November 3, 2015 Have you verified this with a blood test? If you are low on K are you taking supplements? One of the supplements I take is a D+K dot. I get it from Drugstore.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
