Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Hi Deana - You're doing great! Congratulations!!! Bruising, according to my surgeon, could indicate a low level of Vitamin K. Several DS posties have experienced this and taking additional Vit K seems to do the trick.

I had open Ds on June 1st with Dr. | Cliff Deveney in Portland, Or. My starting weight was 430lbs with a | BMI of 66. Well I am 5 months out today and I have lost 112 lbs. It | has been a remarkable experience. My only set back was an open | incision that took almost 4 months to close. | | I had my blood work done last week and all was great. I am having | one problem though. I am suddenly bruising very easily. Is this due | to less padding or should I be more concerned? I started a size 32 | was very snug and I am now wearing a 22-24. | | I hope everyone has a great Halloween!! | | Deana West | Hillsboro, Or | starting wt. 430 | 5 mo post -112lbs | | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
