Bruising three months post-op?

[hermione53 157]

I'm about 11 weeks post op and suddenly noticed about five different bruises on my upper legs. Both legs. I don't recall bumping into anything. I searched the forums and only see posts about bruising around incisions/ belly area immediately post-op. My PCP ran labs last week and everything is normal. Is this type of bruising common with bariatric surgeries? Anybody know the cause? Thanks!

Are you getting enough Iron? Taking it separately from the Calcium?

Easily bruising is one sign of anemia, but, of course, talk to your doctor about your lab results.

Yep, taking my chewable Iron daily separately from 1000mg Calcium citrate chewables. I'm seeing my surgeon for a checkup soon so I'll ask her. Thanks!

Yeah, the first thing I thought is an Iron deficiency. Definitely check in on it since your labs seem to be fine.
