Did your fever stay at 101 awhile?

Once it went over 101 I headed to ER. My hospital is about an hour away and when I got there it was 100.3, I had taken Tylenol.

I'm grateful for the posting of this topic. This is the kind of stuff that would FREAK me out after surgery and so pre-surgery I can do my freaking out with you. I ordered Alex's Big Book on Gastric Sleeve. In the complications section it lists all these very non-specific symptoms that may indicate a leak or an infection -- fever is one of them (along with shortness of breath, etc). That said, if your doctor's office is calm about it and says it is normal, I'm sure it is. Please keep us posted on how you are doing!

Now if I can just research how you get the glue cover stitches? Or coverings to eventually shed or fall off. They just said it would naturally happen ?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
