Hey all. Was sleeved on Monday and came home yesterday. Well I have vomited blood 3 times (not a huge amount). Is this normal?

No, this is not normal. Please call your surgeon, or go to the ER. Hope things get better.

OMG!. I am pre-op but that doesn't sound normal to me. I think you should definitely go get checked out. Especially if your in pain...!

Yes is normal...I had that too don't freak out they cut ur stomach so some people have bloody mucus in there and it has to come out. I spit out blood That entire day after surgery, it wasn't a lot just little every time, but if your think your vomiting to much yes call your doctor...

Thank you Judy. I was thinking it might b normal but wasnt sure. I finally split open a Prevacid and took it with water. Hoping it kicks in soon

I agree with the call the doctor advice. While it might be normal to expel a little blood (I didn't), it's definitely upsetting to do so. A call to the doctor might be just the reassurance you need. And, if this is something bigger, the doctor will know whether to send you to the ER or tell you what to look for in case it gets worse.

Tina...not in pain at all. Just a little tightness and soreness

Lissa...I was planning in it. They open in an hour and a half

true a call wont hurt but im sure ur fine... lol wait till u get those gas pain ... i had to take a Dulcolax a suppository and then i felt better but that 2nd day i could not even sleep do a lot of walking too.. 5 days post-op... and feeling better every day!

I coughed and there was blood, I also blew my nose and there was blood and this happened about 4 or 5 days after surgery, I did not throw up blood though. I hope when the doctor's office they can assure you. BTW, did you have a drain and if so do you still have it?

Had no drains. Left a message to have the nurse call me

when I was sleeved on a Wednesday I vomited "old" blood, painful and scary and tasted horrid from Wednesday to Friday. Then once I got home took it slow, drank less sips, got on my acid reducer, took only warm drinks it stopped, now I'm 13 days out and haven't even been nauseous.

Don't like that you've threw up blood. My surgeon doesn't like post-ops to vomit at all. If that nurse doesn't call in the next half hour call back and talk to anyone that'll listen.

Take care and keep sipping.

Oh okay great. You scared me!! Hehe.

Yes it is normal the first few days. It's all the old blood in ur stomach. On day 3 I vomited old blood and my doctor said I'm fine. He gave me Naseau meds and I felt better.

I guess other people have had the same experience as you, but I never coughed/threw up blood, so it was concerning to me. Do keep us posted when you hear back from the nurse; I hope you find out that it's nothing to worry about. Take care.
