Unexplained fever

[ser123 0]

Hey everyone,

I have had a fever for the last 2 days... 101 - 102* F. No other symptoms that would make me think I have a cold or flu. Just a fever and muscle aching. I also have no appetite, which could just be because I am sick. I also feel some pain around where my band is deep in my body, especially if I take a deep breath.

Mostly I am freaked out about the fever.

Has anyone had any experience about the body rejecting the band? If so, what happened? How did you feel? How did you know your body was rejecting the band?

Band rejection has never actually happened according to Inamed. The possibility of it happening is 1 in 1 million. Someday, it will likely happen but it hasn't yet. Do you think that is your issue or should you call your doc and get an appt?

Call your doc, if you have ANY doubts whatsoever get in to see him/her and get a diagnosis.

Thanks guys. I have had a fever now for the last 3 days. My stomach does hurt deep. If I hiccup it really hurts. I definitely need to see the doctor instead of trying to figure it out on the internet....

You know what they say about people in health care.... BAD PATIENTS!

I know, when I went to the ER last weekend and tried to explain I thought it sounded like a blood clot, you could tell the nurse was irritated with me. My mom use to be a nurse, so when the nurse left, my mom laughed and said 'You're suppose to play dummy... say "My chest hurts, I don't know why!" and let them figure it out'.

One thing all the doctors keep asking me when I talk about the pain, is if I have a fever.. I haven't, but fever goes with infection. Though you are too far out for a surgical infection, anyone know if it's possibly a port infection? I thought those had nothing to do with the surgery.

Hopefully it's just a flu, but talk to your doc
