Bruising

Hey Fellow Marchers! Are any of you brusing easier since WLS? I mentioned it to my doctor, but he wasn't concerned. What do you do to try to keep this from happening? ~Stacy

I can't say that I have noticed any changes with bruising. How easily are you bruising? I bang up my knees a lot but thats because I walk into things a lot! Robin

How are your labs??? Bruising is a sign of an iron defeciancy/anemia.

I bruise something awful and yesterday when I saw my doctor he noticed my legs and said I needed my iron checked again when I start to bruise it is usually a give away my iron is low, so get the liver out Mimi
