I got the lap band surgery about 6 months ago. Up til now, I've had absolutely no complications, not even vomiting. But last night at dinner, I took a bite of a sandwich that was too big and it got stuck in my pouch. I ran to the bathroom and vomited it up, and there was some blood in my vomit. Is this a serious problem or is this normal?

Thanks for the help.

Id say not normal. Maybe you should call your surgeon's office & inquire w/ an RN?

definitely call your surgeon, but most likely you just irritated your esophagus or soemthing. I had a little blood in my vomit once and called my surgeon. She put me on liquids for a couple of days....I was fine...

I talked to my doctor on the phone today and he said to just go on liquids for a couple of days, that it was probably just an irritated esophagus. So thanks guys!
