Morning all,

I was sleeved Tuesday. Awful nausea coming out and spit up a couple things of red blood. No big deal given I was in the hospital. Stayed all day yesterday no problem. Drank 2 protein shakes and was sent home.

Now I’ve been up since 2:00 nauseas and puking what looks to be old blood. Anyone else have this happen and is it something critical that the surgeon needs to know?

I was sleeved yesterday and am still in the hospital very nauseous- In the beginning I threw up red blood and this morning it was dried blood- doctor said this is normal - hoping to get over the nauseous soon!!!

This problems was discussed before.

Since coughing up blood is one of the signs of blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism), I would probably err on the side of caution and let your surgeon's office know about this.

I'm sorry this is happening to you both. You don't deserve it. It's not something everyone goes through. I've been lucky that in the three years since I was sleeved I haven't thrown up once. Good luck to you both. I hope you get the medical attention it sounds like you need.
