Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hello Lori yes I have also noticed this about bruising so thanks for sharing makes me feel like it is somewhat normal I will have blood work done in late Nov. so this will help me to see if I need to increase somewhere maybe Iron. Have a Good Day ! I know you are in recovery by now I have sent a special prayer your way for you and your family. This next year will be wonderful !!!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Hi Lori or Robin: I just read your email about bruising but I didn't read the other email that pertain to this. My arms are terrible if I just bump them they bruise and I cannot even itch myself otherwise they bruises badly and the blood immediately comes to the surface but does not bleed. I've gone to Kaiser for this and they have run some test to see what I'm lacking if anything within my system. So far all my labs I've had done are just fine when I check in with my surgeon that did my bypass. If one of you could elaborate on this subject you were talking about I sure would appreciate it, it would be nice to talk to someone else that is going thru this. Thanks So Much, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Hi Lori: I had my surgery May 13, 2003 and then about a month ago this bruising started happening, what it looks like it you know how the elderly's skin is real think and when they hit themselves it bruises really easy well that is how my skin is. As of today I've lost a total of 79 lbs so far, I am a very slow loser but am thankful because I have NOT lost my hair at all and all my friends have lost tons and are very upset over it, I'm averaging a little over 10 lbs a month which has worked for me. But so far I've talked with no one that has had the bruising like I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
