Flu & Throwing Up
I'm worried about my daughter - she currently has the flu and has been throwing up every hour for the past 24 hours. She had the gastric bypass surgery in March, '06. She is showing flecks of blood in her vomit (which at this point is just gastric juices).
Do I need to be concerned? Is it possible she's broken something loose?
Has anyone else had this as well?
Thanks!

Since she is 1 1/2 year out - she probably didn't break anything loose. But, I being that she is sick - I think you should put a call into the doctor. Keep her hydrated - try to get the fluid in (and keep it in). You can give her some gatorade if she can tolerate it. But really, put a call into her surgeon or PCP.
