I have had gastric bypass ( open RNY) eleven years ago.   I am a special education teacher who retired early on disability three years ago  due to fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, severe back and  hip pain.   I had spinal fusion of L4-L5 in 2007.  Now, I am worried about my loss of appetite-  I have lost 110 lbs in the last fourteen months.   I am often nauseous, and bruise easily.   I have a spot on my left forearm in which I bleed easily through the top of my skin. Is this a sign of cancer?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You may have some coagulation problem. Your bruise and bleeding is due to that.  You should go for complete coagulation profile test with platelet count and complete blood count.  It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
