Sunrise07214 57 Posted August 2, 2014 (Those who are squeamish, you might not want to read) Had the sleeve surgery June 9th, 2014. I'm still figuring out my food portions and what agrees with me and what doesn't. I have thrown up a few times because there are just days my stomach is irritated all day and just doesn't want anything in it. (Is this normal to have these days?) but my main concern is after I throw up. (which when throwing up it is very hard heaves. Kinda like dry heaving with a little food coming up, which we all know is one if the worst ways of throwing up). But after I throw up I spit up blood and it looks like it's coming from my tonsils. Has anyone else heard of this issue or had it happen? I never had this problem before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BitterSweet* 835 Posted August 2, 2014 I agree with BeagleLover. Why do you think the bleeding is coming from your tonsils? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jersrose43 837 Posted August 2, 2014 You probably broke a blood vessel in throwing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vickybli 64 Posted August 2, 2014 yes, its very normal to have days like these. it gets much better later on - after 3-4 months and its probably just a blood vessel from the vomiting which is also very normal, i had these too but its always a good idea to consult with your doctor when anything at all gets you worried. better be on the safe side. 2 BeagleLover and #9grammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunrise07214 57 Posted August 3, 2014 I think they are coming from my tonsils because after most of the food comes up is when I start spitting up little amounts of blood. I look at my throat with a light and I see some blood in like the "holes" of my tonsils. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunrise07214 57 Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) No I haven't called my surgeon. I don't want to call on a weekend when I don't feel like it's anything major. Edited August 3, 2014 by Sunrise07214 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
