This 4th of July weekend was the worst in the almost 2 mths in the post op phase. Sunday night, I got the weirdess chills. I couldn't get warm and was shaking, yet it was 80 degrees in my house. the bottom of my ribs near my top incision felt super tight and when I coughed it hurt badly. It lasted most of the night and by the morning, I felt weak and unstable. I tried showering but kept crashing into the nearby walls. Fearing that I would fall I headed back to bed and slept 10 hours and only woke to have a few zips of Water. Today, I awoke with a pain on the top of my right shoulder, a little less weak but my stomach still felt tight. Anyone ever experience similar symptoms? I feel like I am a newbie out of surgery, DAY 1.

I was sleeved on May 27th. Saturday night i was getting chills. I went to bed and I was freezing. I couldn't stop shaking. My skin hurt. I don't know what it was but, it was really scary. I had 3 blankets on me, and my room was about 78 degrees. I timed it about 45 mins, then i must of fell asleep.

The next morning I got out of bed and my legs felt like noodles. I took some tylenol and after a while they felt okay. Sunday afternoon i started with chills again and went to lye down. It passed.

It was so strange, I feel good now. I was just so blown away when i read your post.

Hope your feeling better, if you find anything out let me know.

Patty, so odd that we experienced similar symptoms. I was so scared, I didn't know what to do with myself so I slept it away. I'm feeling 75 percent better than I did earlier. Hope you are too. Keep me posted, I think it must have been a 24 hr virus.

Just want you guys to know I've been in and out of the doctors office. It seems that I had an infection of some kind do to Fluid left near my staple line. We were really scared of a leak but I passed a CAT scan and Esophogram. Thank goodness!!! I've been on high antibiotics for the last eight days. Feeling much better fever gone hopefully fluid too. I have a follow up on Monday. Lost almost 15 lbs in the process, no eating will do that. I'm feeling 80 percent better. Hopefully 100% very very soon.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
