(Those who are squeamish, you might not want to read) Had the sleeve surgery June 9th, 2014. I'm still figuring out my food portions and what agrees with me and what doesn't. I have thrown up a few times because there are just days my stomach is irritated all day and just doesn't want anything in it. (Is this normal to have these days?) but my main concern is after I throw up. (which when throwing up it is very hard heaves. Kinda like dry heaving with a little food coming up, which we all know is one if the worst ways of throwing up). But after I throw up I spit up blood and it looks like it's coming from my tonsils. Has anyone else heard of this issue or had it happen? I never had this problem before surgery.

I recommend you call your surgeon as soon as possible!

I agree with BeagleLover. Why do you think the bleeding is coming from your tonsils?

You probably broke a blood vessel in throwing up.

yes, its very normal to have days like these. it gets much better later on - after 3-4 months and its probably just a blood vessel from the vomiting which is also very normal, i had these too but its always a good idea to consult with your doctor when anything at all gets you worried. better be on the safe side.

I think they are coming from my tonsils because after most of the food comes up is when I start spitting up little amounts of blood. I look at my throat with a light and I see some blood in like the "holes" of my tonsils.

No I haven't called my surgeon. I don't want to call on a weekend when I don't feel like it's anything major.

      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.

        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!
