After the RNY has anyone experienced a lot of bruising? I am 5 months out and am finding bruising all over, especially on my legs and arms. Has anyone ever heard of anything this could be associated with regarding gastric bypass?

My guess would be iron deficiency or possibly vitamin K deficiency.  I'd go get some labs done.

I had a lot of bruising in my abdomen and all the way up my back.  The surgeon nick something, and all the blood pooled.  I took 4 units of blood and all was well. But I recovery was really painful.
