Yes, CALL IMMEDIATELY, it is most certainly blood, as even bile has a more greenish cast to it.

In all likelihood, it is old blood from the surgery.

Sounds like old blood hope you are ok. Call the doctor that's not normal.

It does sound like old blood; often bloody vomit appears like old 'coffee grounds' and is typically black in color (it may have a very distinct smell as well... hard to describe but you will likely be surprised by the smell). If you have active bleeding, it would be bright red. I agree that your doctor will certainly want to know what you are experiencing... take care.

You should def call your Dr but if you took anything like leprosy bismol or something it can make your mouth, stools & vomit blackish. I once was scared to death by such an occurrence. I was convinced I was dying of lung cancer....alas that was not the case!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
