Skin changes after WLS?

Has anyone noticed skin changes after WLS? I seem to be getting more and more cuts and nicks on my hands and fingers. I just look down and I am bleeding. Either I am getting thin skin, or I am working way too much.

Is there a skin change after so many months? I mean everything else changes, I wondered about that. Deb

I've noticed that I'm bruising much easier. I have bruises all over my legs and arms and have no idea where they come from. I always blame my husband for it. LOL I was going to ask Dr Morgan tomorrow about it too.

Hi Deb,

I have noticed the same thing about the skin. I have always bruised easily so I have not noticed anything about that. But when I scratch a bug bite on my arms I tear the skin. It has left me with some rough spots on my arms. I told my PCP about them and I am going to a dermotologist next week to get them checks. Let you know what I find out.

Hey, Julie - if you need a really good dermatologist, I recommend Dr. Schlessinger. He's in the Xavier St. Francis building west end. He was a wonderful proponent to my WLS. And he's a good doc, too!

Thanks Hellen. I can not remember the name of the Dr my PCP is sending me to, someone at MUSC. My appt is on the 18th.
