kgd002 5 Posted July 13, 2016 I am almost 5 weeks post op and just threw up blood. I had been feeling kind of sick today like I had a cold. My throats been hurting and I've been coughing all day. I had not eaten or drank anything for at least an hour before I threw up. When I threw up it was dry heaving and then some blood came up. I still feel nauseous. Has anyone experienced the same thing or give me some insight on what it is? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleevedinseptember 69 Posted July 13, 2016 Hi kgd002 - I personally never experienced anything like this and it sounds very scary. Please call your surgeon right away and go to the ER to get checked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kgd002 5 Posted July 13, 2016 Thank you I just spoke to my dr. He said either gastritis or an ulcer. Either way he upped my nexium dosage and will probably do an endoscopy. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
