My doctor told me to always call if you run a fever. Its could be a symptom of a leak. Could also be acid reflux. I'd definitely call.

Definitely call your Dr. Also check your pulse.. if your pulse rate is >100, and you've got a fever, it could indicate a leak. Please keep us posted, we'll keep you in our prayers.

Good Morning!

So the pepto did not help at all :( fever is down though ... Ended up contacting the doctor again and he gave me some prescriptions I am now taking nexium and carafate both are the stomach one for acid reflux and one for ulcer prevention. I found out that even though I don't smoke I cannot be around people who do either . The smoke can make me prone to an ulcer ... I had no Idea ... Now that I know I'm staying far away ! On my way to recovery :)

My surgeon told me that smoking and even being around people who do it while healing can cause ulcers

If you spend time with people who are smoking, you are smoking with them.

      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.
