Okay, yesterday I went to the bathroom and there was blood in the toliet bowl, but it was bright red and I figured it was from a pre-existing condition that I had before weight surgery. I'm a little over two weeks out from Gastric Sleeve and I'm having very bad abdominal pain in my stomach. I don't know if I slept on my stomach or something last night, but I woke up with more pain than I've experienced post surgery. Am I bleeding internally? It's really a lot more pain than I experienced directly after surgery.

Thoughts and ideas?

Was the blood in your urine, your stools or vaginally?

Are you running a temperature?

Where in your stomach did you feel the pain?

What is your pre-existing condition?

Are you still bleeding?

Either way, straight to the hospital and to your surgeon for you, my dear.

Call your surgeon! Bright red blood indicates an active bleed somewhere. This is nothing to wait around with. Keep us posted please. I hope you feel better.

You should call your surgeon's office immediately! Bleeding and pain are not normal! Please let us know what happens!

Call your surgeon immediately!!! Bleeding and pain aren't normal. Please tell us how you do!

Please call now!! Don't wait and keep us posted!'

Okay, because it was asked the pre-exisiting condition was a hermoroid, which sometimes bleed and I think that it what happened yesterday. I'm not bleeding now when I go to the bathroom, just checked. Also, the pain is located above my belly button and I feel it when I lift my arms above my head and stretch while standing.

Thank you everyone for all of the answers and support! I called my surgeon's office today and she said the bright red blood was indicative of bleeding near the rear and not from inside my sleeve/body. That type of blood would have been dark red and tar like. Also, she asked if the pain was when I was moving or sitting and I said I felt it most when I was moving around and she asked on a level of 1-10 how bad it was. I told her it was about a solid 8, but I only felt it when I was moving around, specifically when I was lifting my arms over my head and stretching. She had I probably caused a tear or a muscle strain because an intenral bleed would be painful even while sitting or laying down. She said it could take a few weeks to heal and it wasn't from surgery. Here's hoping. Thanks everyone for advice!

Glad to hear!!
