I don't know if I ran a temp but pain meds always make me a little nauseous, and the bloated feeling will go away in a few days. Walking helps with that. Good luck! Best choice I ever made!

Low grade temp is not unusual. Percocet can make you nauseous if you are moving around a lot. Unfortunately it is the walking that helps the bloated feeling. If you do not have a scrip for nausea you might want to call the doc tomorrow and get one. I don't regret my decision, but there will be a few rough days. Prayers and best wishes for you!

Percocet makes me nauseous too, can you call you doc and ask for a a prescription for anti nausea meds? I had the ones that dissolve on your tongue and they helped so much.. Drink small sips as often as you can, walk as often as you can, use a heating pad for gas pains. For me, the really bloated gassy fullness went away around day 4 or 5, that's when I could feel my hunger more but the swelling could last weeks. Definitely call your doc if your temp gets higher but I was told by my daughters surgeon that a low grade fever sometimes accompanies surgery, she had a 99.8 fever last week after her surgery and it lasted only 1 day and then went away..but keep an eye on it...Congratulations on your surgery!!...in a week you will feel like a different person, I promise....

And in 3 weeks you feel like your old self again just a little skinnier. Good luck it gets better.

not sure of the running a temp (i dont think i did) but i do recall them saying if felt (hot or ran one) to let them know....and to take my liquid cvs brand tylenol if i did.....def think if you are running a fever, just let them know and they can advise you to be safe

the pain meds (my liquid codeine) did not make me sick filling...i think it could be the combination of the stuff they used to put you to sleep, the stuff they gave you to keep from getting sick to your stomach and combined all together, i could understand how you feel yucky, but it will get better. i promise

bloating? all the gas they put in your belly to blow it up, yep, you be bloated..as the days pass, that will get better (and you are swollen and will feel very full and not overly hungry) and that is 100% normal .....

so rest

sip sip sip

take your meds

watch your body for signs of (something not right)

and hang in there

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
