Contact  your dr immediately.   Black bile is not right at all.

Do not pretend it is not happening or it will go away until you speak to a dr.

Good luck

Absolutely call your surgeon!  I hope it's nothing that's not remedied by a slight unfill but you need to talk to the office for sure.

OMG ! I wanted the sleeve , insurance wouldnt pay.

Went in for the bypass and they said they couldn't do it and I ended up with band.

It has been a struggle, already had a hiatal hernia and they did a plication which already has come out.

I am going in tomorrow for a endoscopy to see what's up.

Haven't had any more throw up since Sunday night.

Wondering if I was stuck , either way I want to be safe.

Thank you for your concern.

Thanks for all the help, I was out of state when all of this occured .

Called Doctor and I am scheduled for a endoscopy tomorrow.

Have not had any problems since Sunday.

Could this have been a stuck issue?
