No, this is not normal. You should contact your surgeon right away and head to the ER.

I was vomiting up blood also about 2 weeks after surgery, I had an obstruction . Yes call your surgeon immediatly. I was dehydrated from vomiting,had to spend the night in the hospital for iv fluids. It was awful. I also had to drink that yucky dye, even though I kept throwing up( I was told if i threw up the dye I would have to drink more. )Good Luck .

Vomiting blood and "black liquid" is never normal. The black liquid is probably stool, so you probably have some type of obstruction. Get yourself to the nearest ER and notify your MD

I think you are reading too many horror stories of complications...You didn't have surgery yet, right? There are lots of weird little things that happen after surgery to some people...but many of us just have the basic minor problems that you adjust to or they work themselves out...Sometimes it's a little tweaking from your surgeon. Some people have a little blood in their pouches after surgery and it comes out as black stools for a day or two...Vomiting could bring up some old blood too (reason it's black) Bright red would definitely be something to worry about...black would be a good reason to call the surgeon. Often some of these things just go away...You will have to stop worrying about everyone elses problems or you'll end up with an ulcer for all that worrying before you have surgery! A little fear keeps you humble and grateful....but the fear you have is crippling you. Keep researching...you will find that out of the handful of those that have complications...there are thousands that have a smooth sailing....

By no means should you ignore this. If it is still going on, you need to see your physician immediately and if you can't go to the emergency room. You can have a perforation or internal bleeding and you don't want that to get into your abdominal cavity. Let us know how it turns out. Dusty @};-

This happened to me and I don't want to scare you but please call your doctor. They figured it was an ulcer but it turned out to be my intestines folded and my stomach bunched up. They had to do surgery and "tack everything back into place". I felt HORRIBLE before they finally figured it out and got it fixed. Not saying that is what is going on with you but it could be and you should be sure it's nothing urgent!!
