Is this normal and will I need to return to the hospital?

You need to go to the er or call your doctor. Very significant sign of infection. Could just be a UTI.

Just talked to Doc, he wanted me to take liquid Tylenol and keep an eye on it through the night, as well as watch my surgical sites. He said that if its unchanged in the am that I should head back to the hospital. Regarding the UTI, my urine has been quite darker than normal, is that an indicator? Thanks

How is your pulse? Any yellow/green discharge from any of your incisions?

It sounds like you're not drinking enough Fluid.

The dark urine may be a sign of dehydration rather than a UTI. If its painful to urinate or your urine has a pink or red tint to it that may be a UTI

Pulse is a little fast but not that noticeable, no pus that I can see. Bruising around my upper right incision (gallbladder removal site) has doubled in size to about a tennis ball.

Bruising, normal. Dark urine, more fluids. I'd be more worried about dehydration than anything else. Your doctor's advice sounds perfect!

I ran a fever about a degree over normal for the first week after surgery. Was told to go to the ER if it reached 101 or higher. It went away a week to the day of my surgery. I agree with the advice of the previous posters. Just wanted to chime in as I also worried about my post op fever.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
