Hi!

I just got banded on Wednesday and everything seems to be going ok as for as recovering. But, I'm coughing up a little blood this evening and was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and should I be alarmed at all? Thanks for any advice:huh2:

I'm no doctor, but I don't think that is normal. I would have that checked right away! Good Luck.

I was banded on 6/10 and I had that happen also. If it is not much and does not continue I would not worry about it. Also is it bright red or brownish? Bright red would make me head for the nearest ER.

While it may be nothing, coughing up blood is typically NOT normal. I'd call your surgeon immediately at the very least.

I would not wait, just get yourself to a dr asap. Whether it's happened to someone else or not does not mean that what is happening to you is okay. I wouldn't risk it. Good luck and keep us posted.

call the hospital!! Don't wait on this, get it checked out

Did your doctor give you a 24-hour number to call him? My surgeon has a number to call for after-hours emergencies . . . if you don't have that, then I would go to the nearest ER.
