3 days post-op, with nausea and low fever



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Tuesday. Day one was ok, day two - terrible, TERRIBLE nausea. Threw up 3 times. Finally got home and threw up some more. Called my doctor and they said to come into the ER. I told them I didn't want to be admitted and wanted to wait it out. Now my temp has been hovering in the low 99s.

Today, I got a wave of nausea over me. I have phenergan suppositories which usually work wonders, but this nausea is not going away. Slowly sipping on Gatorade zero and Water. Took my temp and it's 100.0 - not sure what's going on or if I should just go back to the hospital.

I know I'm kinda asking for medical advice, but mostly just seeing if you guys experienced this 3 days post op from RNY.

Thanks,

Dianna

Ugh sorry you're going through this. I had no issues at all but severe nausea and fever seem to warrant a call to the surgeon or a trip to ER. Fevers can dehydrate you very quickly and that is the scariest stuff right now. You need fluids.

With a fever you really need to get checked out quick.

I am going to just echo the above; A fever this soon after surgery needs to be evaluated medically, and you really can't wait. I am hoping that you have by now gotten to the ER and been evaluated and are on the upswing. Let us know.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
