Hey folks. My hubby just had his surgery on July 25th. Today he has been running a high fever with chills. No pain but he does have dizziness. He's been doing fine up until now. I called the doctor (on call, not our surgeon) this evening when the fever was 101.7, and he said an infection was unlikely this far out, and it's probably just a virus. Now it's bedtime and his temp is 102.6. I'm a little worried. I told him I was taking him to the ER if it gets to 103. What do you all think?

Also his heart rate was 90 beats per minute.

Did he take Tylenol to help bring the fever down

I gave him Tylenol which helped a little while but didn't break the fever completely.

It may be a leek :( you never know and i would go just to be safe

Yes that's what I'm worried about. I think I'll give him a few more hours and if the fever is still high, we will go on in.

I'd would err on the side of caution. If its nothing and you go, no harm no foul. If its something and you wait around, it could exacerbate an already bad situation. Go. Then update us.

Take him in. It is nothing to mess around with. Trust your instinct. If it was to take him, do it. Good luck

We waited and the fever did not get up to 103. It was 100.7 this morning and then normal this afternoon. Wonder what that was all about?

Sounds like it may have been unrelated (hopefully). :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
