Throwing up blood after 6 months

Hello guys

SO I am 6 months post Gsleeve

Yesterday after eating I started to feel pain

I thought maybe did not chew enough .. so needed to throw up

Pain escalated from 4 to 8 in minutes

Nothing to throw up.. but still felt bad

No medicine helped at that point ..

Couldn't lie down or sit or even stand or walk ..every position made me feel worse

Blood was brown and red ..

It was 3rd time this happening .. but not as much blood .

Doctors told me when it happened b4 .it was normal just need to chew better or eat slowly and this is gases case in colon or something..

This time it was more than 3 hours .. I felt it was eternity

Please go to the er NOW!! Do not wait with this. Throwing up blood is very serious. If you don’t have someone to take you please call an ambulance.

please update us when you are able to do so. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and praying for a good outcome.

it is disturbing that your dr said it’s normal and did not check you out to see what was going on. I do hope that you head to the er and have them take a look. Throwing up blood is never normal.

Bright red blood would usually indicate that it is coming from somewhere in your throat. Brown and like coffee grounds is usually partially digested blood from the stomach. It could indicate an ulcer. I would phone your Dr and see what he/ she advises. Usually blood looks like a lot more than it actually is, a little goes a long way especially when mixed with saliva or digestive fluids.

I would go to the ER. If you don't have insurance for that, I would call your surgeon asap. I hope it's nothing serious, but I'm worried about you!

agree with the others. Something is wrong here and it needs to be checked ASAP.

Vomiting blood is cause for emergency. If you haven't already, go the ER. NOW.

Go to the ER. Do not pass go, do collect $200. Go directly to ER.

It's never okay to vomit blood. Get to the immediate care center.
