Threw up blood

[maxi_maxi 2]

Hi has anyone threw up blood after eating? I just ate noodle Soup and this happened. Dr not answering my call or message. No pain just worried I've burst a stitch

I did once or twice in the hospital - can't remember if it was after eating or not. I was told not to worry about it - it was just blood from the surgery - but again, I was still in the hospital when that happened, so at most it would have been within the first 24 hours post-op. In your case, I'd let your clinic know. I'm not sure if it's anything to worry about or not, but they'd know.

Since you are not in the immediate post op, it would be concerning that a wound was created or never actually healed. Pay attention to your body and if you have any doubt go to get it checked out.

That's what I thought too, but he said it can be pressure on the esophagus causing blood vessel to erupt. He said its definitely not my pouch . Very very scary moment however. I've been taking it super easy today liquids and Soups. Thanks for answering it's appreciated [emoji846]

If it happens again go to the ER, I puked blood right after my op when i woke up and then again at night. When i was discharged the nurse said it can happen 24hours after but once you're home, it really shouldn't happen again.

Stay safe

Did you ever figure out what it was? How are you doing now?
