Bruise marks appearing on stomach



Recommended Posts

Sleeved 3/20/18. Almost near target weight. Surgery weight 353. Current weight 226.
I am getting bruises on my stomach, halfway between belly button to point wear stomach hangs lowest. I still have fat in my stomach to loose. About 4 inches out from belly button
A few weeks ago I got a sudden bruise on my right. I did not suffer any injury that would cause the bruise. I was very surprised. A nice purplely one. Concerned me enough in magic marker the edges to seen if it got bigger.
Now, I have a similar one, almost same position on my left side. And a third one; smaller, light tan, higher and closer to my button. My first one has since dissappered.
Could any of these bruise marks be related to weight loss or loose skin?

Maybe the loss of fat all over your body instead of a blood dyscrasia . I have been having bruising without remembering any bumps, falls or trauma that could produce it. My PCP just laughed, said it probably is just a facet of getting older, not only have you diminished your fat padding but your skin is naturally much thinner. Oh well, my over-active imagination had me developing leukemia, he keeps telling,me my RNY has made me a much healthier person and then immediately sends me off for yet another testing. And I have appointments set,up for my ears and eyes,v2 areas he as yet had missed. I want one of those labels like they put on the inside of car doors stating the date of my Last Servicing! Perhaps center it on my Forehead where everyone can readily see it!😛🌈🌺🌼🌸

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
