Bloody stool

Anybody else experienced bloody stool? Just happened last night and I couldn't tell if it was from the stool itself or maybe a h'roid. I don't feel ill.

Of course this stuff always happens to me right before the week-end so now I'm freaking out a little!

Thanks!

Call your regular doctor.

The same thing happened to me. I called and they asked if it was bright red or dark red. Mine was bright red, so they said not to worry (from roid). I agree though to call your doc. Shoot, you could have eaten red pepper- red stood can be from lots of stuff.

My post-op instructions said that if my stool was bloody - to call the doctor. Good luck!

Thanks all for your concern! I really do know this is not an internet discussion. I suspected it was a roid... but I have some anxiety issues that I deal with so my mind always goes to worst case scenerio and I'm imagining the inside if my stomach bleeding from the band and all that. No sign of blood today (it was bright red). If it reappears I will most definitely call my doctor... but also didn't know who to start with... my gp or my band doc.
