Help, chills & sweating

[serisla 0]

:help: I was band on June 22, 2006. For the last 2 weeks I have been sweating(alot) and having lots of chills. Has anyone out there had this? Could it be an infection or leak? Help!!

That could be any one of a number of things. It sure sounds like a fever, which could be caused by an infection. But there isn't any reason to necessarily think it's band-related. Or did you mean 6/22/07? In any event, call a doctor!

I was band on June 22, 2006. I have not had any fever what so ever. I seem to be eating less and less everyday. I have had 3 fills. I am at 2.4 of a 4cc. I also have back pain.

Sounds like it could be a kidney and or bladder infection. You should really call your doc ASAP.

Absolutely call a doctor! Those symptoms are nothing to ignore. Call your primary doctor though; there is no reason to think it's related to your band and most likely isn't. Take care and let us know how you're doing!
