Call your doctor. Post-op fevers are not good. Your surgeon needs to know.

I did, and I had an infection. Call the surgeon just to be safe, they want to know.

Have to agree with the others. Fever can signal infection or leak. Better to be safe than sorry!

call the surgeon on call ASAP. No matter how late. A fever can mean you have a leak or a blood clot. I had a fever 2 days after surgery and they had me come into the emergency room at midnight. Turns out I had pneumonia and had to be readmitted to the hospital for 4 days.

highest weight = 228 DOS = 219 CW = 201 DOS was May 7th 2013
