Coughing up fresh blood 3 days post surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi there, just curious if anyone else has had this problem. The doctors have checked and they are happy that I'm not having a pulmonary embolism but it still quite frightens me. Any stories would be appreciated, good or bad. Thanks

Are you still under the surgeon's care in the hospital?

Yes I am. They tested my blood last night and have been happy with my breathing. Nothing points to anything else other than inner stomach lining bleeding which they suggested and we're not concerned about

You're under care so I would try not to worry and leave it to the professionals. If they're unconcerned, I would say you need not be either. :-)

Glad you're at the hospital! The docs will get to the bottom of it and keep you out of danger. Best wishes on a speedy recovery!

I would just advocate for yourself. Have they done an endoscopy to see where the blood is for sure coming from? If you don't feel like "Oh well it's okay" is the answer demand further testing. I don't believe this is a normal side effect.

I had my surgery Dec 14th. I had a slightly similar issue. I was throwing up blood every time I tried to drink something or suck on ice. I was in the hospital for 5 days. It stared as fresh blood and on day 4 it was brown and kinda chunky like old blood. Then it stopped and I was able to keep liquids down. I was told that some times that can happen. My blood sugar rose super high, that I needed insulin. I was on meds for nausea, my lungs were choppy that I had to take breathing treatments. I had none of those issues prior to surgery. Thank goodness on the 5th day it was like everything went away. I’m sure you will be okay in a day or so. The good thing is you are at the hospital and can be monitored.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
