I am 36 yr. old female with lapband surgery hystory and many complications ,so I am used to diarrhea and vomitting. However the last few days I have had vomitting with gastric acid and diarrhea that is bright green. I have been in alot of pain and have had swelling over my sides and upper right abdomen. Liver disease runs deep in my family. Should i seek medical attention immediately?
