I called my doctor again to let him know I threw up blood and he still said see him on Monday. Its time to disobey his orders. I'll keep you all posted.

I agree! Be your own advocate for your health... if you feel something isn't right.... it is better to go and find out its nothing... than wait and have it get worse if it is something.

Pooping and vomiting blood is NOT normal! Let us know how you go.... wishing you best of luck.

Defiantly go! I was having stomach pain and called the doctor on call. He said I could wait until the office was open in the morning. I was in a lot of pain so I didn't wait. I ended up having 4 large blood clots! I am very happy that in made the choice to go to the ER.

Good luck! I'd go in too...something is not right [emoji53]

They gave me fluids and sent me home, told me to just see my surgeon Monday because there was nothing they could do. I am so frustrated I am crying right now. I don't understand why anyone won't help me.

Wow! They didn't call the surgeon while you were in the EE? I know they called mine while I was there. He was the one that ordered the ultra sound and test to see if I had a leak. Once I had the ultra sound and they saw the blood clot in my liver they did a CT scan instead of the leak test because they would be able to see if there was any fluid outside my stomach. Luckily there wasn't a leak but I did have blood clots in my lungs and intestine. To me that was so much easier than a leak because I am now on blood thinners and feel fine and didn't have to go through the leak process. Good luck. I hope your surgeon listens to you tomorrow.

No they didn't but he called me as soon as I got home and told me to make an appointment, same thing he keeps telling me and now its not Monday but "some time this week".

I was on shots for 14 days and that's the standard procedure here. I don't know why it seems uncommon in the US.

I'm following doctors orders if injecting lovenox is going to help me not get any blood clots I'm all for it.

I have to give myself Lovenox shots for 2 weeks due to family history of blood clots on both sides of my family. I hate doing it, but I'm following orders.
