I was banded yesterday. Came home feeling ok. Sore but no pain. All went well last night...walked as much as I could and rested some. This morning I woke up needing to cough (I am figuring this is from being put to sleep and the tube in the throat). I managed to cough some without killing myself (oh coughing right now is not a good feeling) and coughed up blood clots. Then I had to blow my nose a bit later and the same blood clots coming out. I know if they are coming out it is good, but just curious if anyone else experienced this and if I should be worried. No signs of clots any where else right now. Just when I blow or cough and then they're there. Thanks....

I didn't experience any of that. I am not sure if that is normal or not. No harm in calling to talk to nurse at your surgeon's office for piece of mind.

hm, i would def call your dr to be on the safe side as i have never heard or read of this. please call and let them know and have them put your mind at ease.

I wouldn't fool with that. I would call right away and get back in and be seen...

I would call the doctor, but likely it is because the scratched the air passages during intibation. I use to work in the hospital and it was common after extibation for patients to have this. But reporting it to the doctor will not hurt.

I had the same symptoms. the day after surgery I not only had a cough but I had horrible phlem coming out of my chest. My nose was crusted and when I blew little clots of blood came out. I called the surgeon immediatley and was told this is very normal after anesthesia, but to keep an eye on it that it didnt last for days. I was asked to check my temperture for fever, nothing. The next following day symptoms were gone.

You should always call your surgeon for piece of mind

Please call your surgeon's office and be safe.

Keep the Faith.

thanks guys...called today...probably side effect to being put to sleep...as the day went along I am fine...a bit of coughing to clear out the throat area (which I also had last time I was put to sleep for my tubal) but other than that doing well...thanks for the advice from everyone...and I hope it was a 1 day experience and doesn't occur again...no fever and nothing going on except this morning with the nose and clots and the slight cough I've had about all day just clearing the airway out from time to time....but in general all is well

I'm so glad. Hoping you are perfect in the morning!
