I have a fever



Recommended Posts

My surgery is set for May 5th, and once again, I have a fever. I'm a little afraid they will cancel my surgery.

I have no idea why I have a fever, I don't feel sick, just headachey and I'm cold.

The thing is, I had to redo some of my labs because my white blood count was high last time, I was on the verge of a double ear infection.

So I thought i might have had a fever last night, because I felt cold (ya know how you can just tell) so this morning Ihad a headache,

took 2 Tylenol and a few hours later felt fine, and went to get my last batch of labs done.

I've seriously been sick non stop since I stopped smoking in February. One thing right into another.

Well, I'll just hope for the best. but the way mt luck has been it won't be good. dry.gif

Stay positive - you may have some sinus issues going on, they are bad right now. I will send positive thoughts your way so you can get through your labs with flying colors! :)

Hey Terib...although it would be a bummer to have your surgery canceled, make sure you DO tell your doctor about this fever. You will receive antibiotics during and after the surgery, but you still have to be on the same page with the whole medical staff.

Let's hope your fever goes away by itself, but you should take it easy these next few days.

Best,

Dr. JSA

Thanks so much for the positive thoughts and great advice. My temp was 99.0 this morning, so that's a good sign.

My prep doctor is nearly psychic, I don't know how, but she knows everything. (she's a little scary) laugh.gif

She's a teeny little woman who pointed her bony little finger at me and told me NO SMOKING. and man oh man did I oblige.

If I want this surgery I will obey. So I will tell her about my fever. or else she'll just call me out on it. lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
