Did anyone throw up blood after their surgery? If so what was cause and how long did it last?

Thanks for you help.

I did the day after surgery and I was still in the hospital. It seemed like allot to me...soaked a hand towel. But the surgeon said it was rather common. That was the only time.

I didn't but was told it was a possibility. Also possible to have blood in your first bm. This is because the surgery involves your stomach and intestines so it's possible and normal to see blood initially. But they did say the blood should not look bright red (more of a maroon or darker). Bright red could be an indication of internal bleeding, especially if it's beyond the first day or two. Talk to your doctor. He/she should be your first source of info. They also know your particular history.

I am still in the hospital so docs are checking it out. They took blood twice last night to rule out internal bleeding. The last lot was darker so I think it was old blood like you said . Just really freaky and they all seemed surprised so I wanted to know if it happened to others.

Thanks so much for your answer it has helped me to stop worrying. :-)

I threw up blood twice post OP. They gave me medicine, thrombus, to drink and it stopped. It freaked me out so much!

I would feel better that they ruled out internal bleeding. Sounds like they are being thorough before sending you home - that's as it should be. :-)

I did too.. allot of it. Doc said it was a small gathering of blood that settled in the pouch from surgery and that it was fairly common
