What Did I Just Throw Up?



Recommended Posts

Ok, maybe this is tmi but I am really concerned and hope you can help. This morning I woke up with the sudden urge to throw up. I got out of bed and ran to the restroom. I threw up what looked like bits of raisins. Small and black in color. Last night I had some Water before bed and dinner I had some plain yogurt. I had nothing with color. I feel okay now, but it was ugly and kind of scary. Any thoughts??? BTW... I'm six weeks post op if that helps.

It sounds dark and grainy but it could just be the way it shows in my mind. It may be blood. I would just call the doc and run it by them for peace of mind.

Blood??? But yes dark and grainy describes it. But this late out? Did I do something? My docs office is closed now and won't be open till Monday? But I guess I'll see if it happens again and I'll leave a message with his answering service. I just hope that was the first and last time.

Do they not have an after hours number? I would try to get a hold of someone tonight!

Not to try to scare you but you should seek to se a doctor today! Any fever, chills or anything out of the ordinary aside from the "raisins"?

There should always be a doctor on call. It may not be your surgeon but someone. I think you should call for sure. Vomiting that color is a concern with or without a sleeve. Hope it turns out to be nothing, but you can't be too careful.

ok, so it was old blood. Possibly the scabbing from the inside of my tummy from the incision. That was scary. Thanks all for the concern. I did call and describe what it was and this is what i was told. But was also told if it happened again to call and it hasnt.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
