Bruising?

I'm 9 months post op and I have noticed lately that I bruise really, really easily.  My legs and arms are covered in bruises and I now have a decent sized one on the small of my back.  My hypochondria is in full force, so I'm thinking the worst.  But, then I was wondering if perhaps this is common after weight loss...maybe I bruise easily because my muscles aren't covered in fat any more.  Does anyone have a similar problem?

I would make sure to get my iron checked and take extra Vit C.  I know that my veggie/fruit consumption was non-existent the first 7-8 months.  Low Vit C and other mineral/vitamin deficiencies can show up as easy bruising.  

Get your levels tested first before thinking the worst! 

best to see you pcp and get some lab work done

 it might be a vit or mineral deficiency

I bruise easily, but I always have.  Except for copper, all of my labs are great.  

I typically bruise easily too but this is worse than normal. I have my next appointment next month so they'll do labs then. I take all the vitamins. 

You need to see a doctor, it is not typical to bruise easily post op. 

I am constantly covered in bruises. Not saying this is the norm, but it is for me. You should get checked though and have all of your labs drawn.

Right now on me, I have a bruise on the side of my right knee, a big one on the side of my left calf, one on my thigh, and a few small ones scattered on my lower extremities. I do have a physically demanding job, though, and I think I whack myself more often than I think. I felt the one on the side of my calf though, let me tell you. I knew it was going to be a good one lol.
