Vomiting Blood

[Jennifer77 0]

So, I just got banded on April 28th. I received my first fill last Wednesday May 28th. Today I was eating dinner, and self admittedly, I ate too much and too fast. I am still trying to get in the proper habits. I know they won't happen overnight, so I am not too disappointed in myself. I went in to do my semi normal burp up the last bite of food routine, and I found myself violently vomiting. Now there are some weird things happening in my GI track today, so maybe I could be coming down with a stomach flu, but as I was surprised to see what looked like blood in my vomit. It kinda has me scared. It wasn't enough to really tell, but it was there. I called my husband over too take a look (he's so good to me), and he thought that maybe it could be too. What do you guys think. I don't have any pain or any acid reflux. I work with Gastroenterologists so I can ask them tomorrow, and maybe even throw in an EGD at the end of the work day or something. But I want to know if any of you may have experienced this.

Red blood or coffee ground looking blood? It would help to know if it is likely just the strain of vomiting ie red or ulcer type blood looks like coffee grounds. Of course either way I would call my surgeon just to be sure.

Fresh red blood, and very little of it. In only one of the vomit blobs. If it were like coffee grounds I would be at the ER right now. I have seen patients with that, and I know better. There was so little of it, it was really hard to tell if it was blood or maybe just something dark from the food.< /p>

Call your MD just to be sure.

Jennifer please don't take anything for granted (could be stomach flu). There are just too many nasty virus's and infections floating around out there. Please call your surgeon and let him/her make that call. That would be my advice anyway. :eek:
