What Causes Skin Bruises Long After Having Gastric Bypass Surgery?

I get bruised really easily and don t know why. I had gastric bypass surgery 3 yrs ago so I take B12 sublime all, B Complex, Calcium tablets, Biotin for thin hair, Bariatric One a day vitamins, vitamin D3, baby aspirin, Probiotic and Premarin (so my hubby want divorce me). If I hit my arm or legs I get a red bruise. My skin is so dry this winter. Am I overdosing on vitamins, etc?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the bruise forming immediately so this is not due to any disease unless have some history of blood disorders or taking some blood thinner medicine otherwise in fair skin it is pretty prominent if this is so then one has to take care for any injury, if this is to be cleared the doubt then, platelet count, bleeding time clotting time are advisable hope this information helps.
