Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted August 31, 2012 Have you been walking? Are you able to sip your Water as needed? I do believe in checking in with your surgeon, it may be a blood clot and/or dehydration. Let us know how your doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amfw 18 Posted August 31, 2012 I had a low grade fever for the first few days after I got home. I just kept an eye on it and made sure to drink plenty of fluids. If you're worried though I would call the doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bettyanne6249 50 Posted August 31, 2012 Now it's at 100.4. I plan on calling in the morning. I'm on Vicodin and I took two Tylenol. Hopes its okay. They were giving me morphine and tylenol is the hospital. Man I hope I don't regret this surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bettyanne6249 50 Posted August 31, 2012 I had some problems getting in milk. Maybe because it's thicker than Clear Liquids but i was more uncomfortable after drinking milk and eating yogurt. I am able to get Water in. I need more I'm sure. I feel my legs are achey because of the fever and not painful like maybe a blood clot would be. Either way im calling in the morning If I'm not better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ready4success 380 Posted August 31, 2012 My legs are a little sore too, but I've heard DVTs are an intense, consistent pain and swelling. I was sleeved on Tuesday too, so I'm curious about what your dr will tell you. Keep us posted, and I hope you feel better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
