Bruising and cramps

My surgery was Jan 24. I am 5'6". Weight at time of surgery was 340. Today, I weigh 217. I just finished my menstral period, so I am wondering if I may have low iron. I have been having cramps at night in my ankles. And, I have a lot of bruising on my arms and legs. Everytime I touch something it seems to leave a mark. Is this normal for us? or, should I contact my dr for new lab work? Last labs were in July and everything was normal. Thanks

I would call the doc!! It don't hurt! good luck

It never hurts to check with your pcp. I have alot of bruising on my legs too. Low iron for me. Please let you doc know and they can make the decision as to what it is though

Hi Heidi, Your doing really well with your weight loss. When did you last have your blood word done? What did it say? You should definately contact the surgeon and request a CBC with platelets (blood work). There are medical conditions that would cause this to happen, just make sure that you have the results looked at by a Hematologist to see what the real problem may be. Make sure you tell the doctor what you've told us. Good luck God bless Syndi

Thanks everyone. I have a call in to my doctor's office to see what he wants to do. I'll update as I know more.
