please help black vomiting

Hello everyone I need your opinion on something for the last couple of days I threw up in my sleep and I didn't even know it till I wake up or I'm woken by coughing. It was this black like stuff like coffee grounds and this only happens when I sleep I'm scared to go to sleep now has this happen to anyone before please help

sending you a big hug!!!!

Now contact your Dr. immediately!!!  You are harming yourself and the band needs an unfill ASAP!!!  At this point until you see your dr, do not lay down to sleep!  Use a wedge or 6 pillows or a comfy chair!   You can choke!

I am so sorry to be this tough!!!  But I am hoping to save you a lot of damage!!  Keep us posted!

Yes, it has happened.  I never really needed a fill in my 4cc band and when I started to gain weight about 7 years out, I decided to get a fill.  Had to keep going back and forth because it was either really tight or not tight enough, so I'd spent many days violently vomiting/PB'ing.

I vomited exactly as you described and my doctor removed the fill and the symptoms disappeared.  I think the coffee ground effect is dried blood because of blood vessels bursting during the vomiting.

Do you feel your band may be too tight?

no because when i eat i'm fine its just that when i go to sleep this happens

i have a doc apt in the AM

That is dried blood you are coughing up. Contact your Dr. as soon as possible.

 I am glad you have an appt booked - this needs immediate attention.

Best wishes. Kate

I don't think I would wait till the am. I would call your doctor Immediately or go to the ER. Hope you feel better soon

 Go to dr asap

 Yea... Cofffee ground vomit is blood.  Perhaps it happens when you lay day due to reflux, but it needs to be addressed ASAP....
