Low Grade Fever, Sleeved 2 Days Ago

[jennybittyboo 23]

My sister was sleeved 2 days ago. Overall she is doing well. However, she has a slight temp of 99.8. Should I be concerned that she may have a leak? Is 99.8 even considered a fever?

I ran a fever for 4 days some as high as 103°, the hospital told me to call if it got over 101°. Pretty normal

Fever for our hospital/ER 101. and that would be 2 hours after tylenol. Just keep and eye on it and stay hydrated. Good Luck Linda

By the way, when I called the surgeon called me back and said ibsounds good and asked how I felt. I felt fine other than the fever and he told me to take tylenol and call back in the am innit didn't go down... It did and stayed down.

From what I understand it could be from dehydration and not walking enough. Try both and see if it goes down. A fellow sleever had it too and it went away. He had his surgery the day before me.

They told me using the breathing thing would lower it... Sort of like a dog panting... Gotta get good oxygen flowing

I had one and they told me it was common with bariatric patients if they had any little bit of Fluid in lungs. I had to kick up the use of my spirometer. Good luck to her and what a great sis for seeking support/answers.

Thanks everyone! She has been walking, the nurses told her she definitely won the walking race at the hospital. I told her everyone's recommendations. I am just a worry wart older sister. I hope to have my surgery the 2nd week of June.

I was also told the more you use the breathing thing then the fever will go away
