(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.

I recommend you call your surgeon as soon as possible!

I agree with BeagleLover. Why do you think the bleeding is coming from your tonsils?

You probably broke a blood vessel in throwing up.

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.

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.

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
