fever?

[flissk07 1]

I have had a low grade to mid grade fever since surgery. My doctor says its normal anyone else have this problem? Its been four days since my surgery.

I did! I had low grade fever the whole entire first week.

My doc said it was ok as long as it didn't go over 101

Today marks my 2 weeks post op still dealing with weakness, a bit of nausea, and not reaching my Protein goal

I spiked a 102 fever in the hospital, they gave me Tylenol and a cool wet washcloth. It came down, and my white cell count was good. As precaution they had me have a follow-up lab to make sure the white cell count was still normal. My white count was good, and the fever stayed around 99.5 for over a week. Hope your recovery is smooth, and pain free.

I was sleeved July 1st and I started running a low-grade temp as soon as I got home on the 3rd.

I called my surgeon's office and was told the same thing as Ruthie. As long as it doesn't go above 101, don't panic. Meanwhile, I take the liquid Vicodin my doc prescribed, to keep the fever at bay and take the edge off my incision pain. I'm trying not to take it very often, but once or twice a day is still necessary for me.

Hope everyone is feeling better! I'm 2 1/2 weeks
