bloody emesis

I am ten months out post op lap RNY.  I did  have a perforated ulcer two weeks post surgery which was surgically repaired.  I had only symptoms of nausea, and severe pain.   My WLS surgeon has adjusted my meds enough so I was feeling much better with the heart burn, nausea, and had even had the vomiting subside for a few months.   This last week I have had increased heartburn and even bloody emesis twice this week.   I am curious if this has happened to anyone else.  I don't have pain like I did before the ulcer perforated so I am not sure if it is bleeding from my esophogus erroding from the vomiting and heartburn or if I could possibly be developing another ulcer? Just looking for a little insight.  Thanks.

Nope.  I don't smoke, never have.  I also don't drink.
