I didn't eat until about 11:30 this morning and I went with some family to a restaurant in town. I ordered a sirloin tip steak with some potatoes and veggies. Anyway, I'm suffering a bit from allergies and my nose was stuffed, so when I took a bit of a big bite of my steak it was hot and instead of chewing and swallowing bits until it was gone I swallowed most of it in one go. Wasn't really thinking about it till I got terribly stuck. Very painful. So I went to the bathroom and after a minute or two I vomited a bit of steak and some mucus with blood in it. Should I be particularly concerned? I'm not in any pain and I was able to eat afterwards with no problems. Thanks in advance for your response and I apologize for the long post!

Well, it's always a good idea to call your doctor and run it by him or his nurse? But, you might want to stick to slider type foods for 24 hours to give your pouch and esophagus a rest. I doubt you did any harm but I guess it depends on the amount of blood you coughed up?

Throwing up blood? I'd call my band doc right away. That would be scary to me.

anytime blood is involved, so should one's doctor be.

please call and see what is what.....all the best..

I so agree with everyone here SkinnyJenn...hope you are okay!!! thinking good thoughts for you.

I agree with what everyone else has said. However, you probably just strained yourself, and need to stick to liquids for a day or two. Best wishes/ (do call your surgeon's office, tho)!

Update: I've been able to keep food down with no problems. I think I may have just scratched the inside of my throat. Thanks to all of you for your concern and posts!
