Vomiting With Neon Green, Yellow Stuff, Diarrhea And Terrible Cramping Post Laparoscopically Removal Of Infected Appendix. Normal?
Hi I had my infected, perforated appendix removed laparoscopically last Wednesday and was released Saturday only to vomit neon green and yellow 5 hours later and couldn t keep my antibiotics down. I was readmitted Saturday night until Monday, basically sedated on Sunday, with no further testing done, and they released me. I have diarrhea and terrible cramping and shooting pain nearly all the time and want to know if this is normal for this surgery.

Dear friend, welcome to HCM.
it is not normal after this surgery, but is possible occasionally , if there is ongoing inflammation.
if your antibiotics are not tolerated, were u given them IV?
if you have fever or ongoing symptoms as above, pl. get evaluated , may be an Ultrasound of abdomen/ pelvis to look for any collection atc. around operated area.
pl. consult your surgeon and act on his advice.
take care and keep me posted.

No it is not normally happened after surgery. Please do a repeat USG to diagnose the cause and consult the surgeon for management.
