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

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
