Fever of 100 started last night. Surgery was 1/24/12, I have not had any post op issues so far. Fever of 100 started last night , still here today. Slight headache, lower back pain for days now but I was sure that was due to the way i was sleeping. Now im greatly concerned ! My doctor is 3 hrs away, so I'll go to my local GP in the AM. Has anyone had this ?????

I would go to my GP in the morning and to the ER if you symptoms get worse. It could be any number of things and many which may not have anything to do with your WLS. I would definitely check it out to make sure.

Its hard to say - you're far enough along that a leak would be kindof rare, but it can definitely still happen. Have your incisions all healed?

If your fever doesn't go away, I'd go to the ER - the longer you wait, the worse things can get. Are you able to eat and drink and keep food down?

at this point anything is possible - could be sleeve related or maybe not. Better to be checked out!

      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.
