I was ok until I started feeling sick. I also went back to work too early, I'm happy with my decision but hate this feeling, and u ?

So I got home and checked my temp., I have a slight fever of 101.6, waiting on my doc to reply back, no pain and I can drink fluids, I hope I'm ok

I also have sore throat and chest congestion. Nasal drip. Little bit of cough. I'm 5 months post op. I think it's a bug going around

I had the same experience at 5 days out. Sore throat, chest congestion, slight temperature. I called the doctor. He checked my lungs. They were clear. Had me do some blood work to check for any infections. Fine. He said it was gas resulting from anesthesia. Body responding to the surgery. I took Nyquil for a couple of nights and then I was fine.

What's funny is I'm the type that hasn't had a fever in like 10 years, no joke. Weird how all of a sudden I got one...

Feeling it I may be getting strep throat, couldn't sleep all night due to the pain, can barely swallow without it hurting....

I'm so sorry! I am newly sleeved myself, so I don't have any advice. But I'll pray that you feel better!!

Susie, have you called your regular Dr? Maybe he/she could see you and check for strep?

Strep is sooo miserable

You're in my prayers!! Hope you start feeling better soon!!

Call your family Dr or PCP. The strep test can be done in office and you get almost instant results. Strep is not fun, and there's no need to live with it any longer than needed if that's what you have.

When I had my lapband removed I woke up with a sore throat that hurt worse than strep, believe it or not. They must not've been too gentle with some of the things they shoved down there. But if it was related to that, it would be an immediate thing - you'd have woken up with it or noticed it very soon after. It wouldn't surface two weeks later.
