Bruisng Question

Ok I had my surgery on 12/16/05 and have lost 80 pounds as of today.. I have been bruising horribly.. the blood vessels in my hands seem to be extreamly fragile and the burst without doing anything to them.. I had like 12 small bruises on my hand this morning they followed along my blood veins and boy did they sting, so I know they were burst blood vessels but I didnt hit my hand or anything so im not sure how they got there... and i have bruises all over my legs from where I bump into stuff... When i had my 3 month blood work I had low B12, So now Im doing the Sublingual (Spelling) and Im doing the Calcium.. along with my daily vit. My Question, Is anyone else having this issue? Should i be concerned, and call my Dr.. Or is it because Ive lost so much fat between my blood vessels and my skin that they are just more voulnerable?? Thank you all in advanced.. (((HUGS))) Dori

Dori, Several months ago Diona Austill posted an articel from Dr. Michael Snyder's (denverbariatrics.com) website regarding bruising and lack of vitamin C. You might check out that article. By the way good job on the loss so far. Sherr

I was the same way and was told to supplement with vitamin K. I have been on it for about 1.5 months and have noticed a difference. Leanne
