Odd reaction after surgery?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else done this? I've gotten really cold a couple of times since surgery, and my body has started shaking HARD. Not the normal teeth-chattering, but whole-body shaking.

Have you taken your temp? That can be a sign of a spiking temp. This soon post surgery I would call to make sure that you are not developing an infection.

I did the same thing. It was so weird. I have never been cold in my whole life. I was wearing a sweater around all the time. It lasted a good couple of weeks and then all of a sudden it was gone, as fast as it came on. I don't know why it happened. I did not have a fever.

I haven't yet. I'll try to remember to do that if it happens again.

Hi laurend,

I have been watching the posts to see when you would be back online. You were banded on July 5th right? How did it go? Did you have to spend the night in the hospital? So good to have you back online.

Hope you feel better(warmer) fast!

Take care,

Michelle:girl_hug:

Take your temp and call a local Dr or go to the ER now! The signs you're describing are the possible signs of your body turning SEPTIC. This is exactly what happened to me after surgery and it is very dangerous. Do not wait. If you have a fever over 101 go to the closest ER and get help soon.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
