Blood in spit up

[ToriLynn 0]

I am 2 1/2 months out and just had an episode, got stuck then did the massive saliva, sliming thing then, I think I did bring up alittle food, the weird thing is after some food came up the next 3 -4 white foamy spit ups were tinged with small amounts of blood. Then stopped. Now I really did not vomit violently. Anyone have this happen. Don't want to over react but it was a bit scary. I feel ok. I have not even had a fill yet. I seem to get stuck alot.

CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!!!!!! Bleeding is not something to just leave alone. Call tomorrow, and get in asap. Let them know on the phone that you are bleeding. They may want to run some tests. Better to be safe than sorry!

I agree with everyone - Call Your Doctor!!! Please!

And about getting stuck alot... I was getting stuck all the time... realized I was just eating too quickly.... now, I take a bite or two, wait a few minutes, and take a few more bites... etc.... when I eat quicly, I always get stuck and that sucks!!!

Good luck! And I hope all is well!!! HUGS:wub:

I would get checked out just in case. Its not part of the norm to have any blood come up. My mom has the band too and one time she did scratch her stoma when she accidently swallowed a piece of crab shell. I don't know if she ever PB'd any blood, but she did have to be unfilled until it healed. Better safe than sorry.

Add my voice to the, "Doctor. Stat." chorus.

Be safe!

I am 10 months out and about a month and half ago, I was throwing up and then went and sat down and ten minutes later I had to throw up again and this time it was blood. Went back and sat down again and then about 10 more minutes I was in the restroom throwing up blood clots.

We were out to eat and I got a very small piece of chicken stuck, even though I was eating baby size bites. Anyway my friend rushed me to the car and was going to the ER, but I wanted to call my DR. Got his answering service as it was a Saturday afternoon. He called me back in 10 minutes and I explained it all to him. He said he would meet me at the office in an hour for a complete unfill, but to try something first. He told me to sip Water slowly and if it did not pass through in 30 minutes to head to his office. The first drink I took I threw up Water and blood. My friend said take very small sips like the Dr said. So I started doing that and in about 15 minutes it went through. Dr. put me on liquids for 4 days, no unfill. He said I had busted a blood vessel by throwing up. That was a month and a half ago and I just went in for a small fill and he always uses floro he check everything and all was in the right place and fine.

I do not slime when I get stuck and it never passes through, it always comes up real easy. I have C-pack(?) in my band instead of saline because Dr says it is thicker so some people have said that is why it always comes up instead of passing through because the c-pack it not as flexable or soft as the saline. My friend banded at the same amount as me have never throws up but slimes sometimes at first bite and can not continue to eat. I throw it up or spit it up and then go back and eat.

Not sure if it is true about C-pack but that is what I was told. Busting a blood vessal was because of me eating the wrong thing and had nothing to do with the band. I knew I could not do chicken but ate it anyway. But you should always call your Dr when there is blood, but sounds like you did what I did you not to the extreme.
