4-22 I had my gallbladder removed because I had gallstone pancreatitus. This past Friday I started throwing up every 15 minutes and my BM's were also becoming darker until Friday they were black. I went to Er and they gave ME PHENERGAN and took a blood count which was 11 and sent home. 0 My bm is bright red now and when I stand up I get so light headed and dizzy I have tit down. I also have severe tooth pain on my left side and a numbness in my left arm. I am calling dr's this morning but just wanted to see if there was anything going on that connects all of this. They didn't keep me at ER because the blood count was just under normal and they also didn't do a rectal. Just took my word for it

I admit, I have not had the surgery. With that said, if it was me, I would be on the phone with my surgeon RIGHT NOW and heading to his office. This to me is a form of an emergency. Call the office and explain the cir****tance then tell them you are on your way in. I would also call my PCP for back up, there are never too many doctors involved if you ask me.
