Post-Op Fever

I have another question. After surgery did anyone get fever's in the afternoon? I have been getting one everyday since I got home from the hospital. The Hospital said to contact the Doc if it went higher than 101, right now it is 99.4, it goes up and down all afternoon and evening. I was wondering if it was something to worry about. I see my doctor on Tuesday and I am monitoring it all day. If it goes into the 100's I usally take baby tylanol. It hasn't gone any higher than 100.3 the past few days. But just wanted to know if anyone else experienced this too. Thanks, Darlene

Hi Darlene, The fever does not sound right to me . I hope you call the doctor today and find out for certain. You'll continue to be in my prayers. Kathy

After surgery my fever went up and down. So long as it doesnt go over 101, you neednt worry. Even if its 100.9 lol Dont stress about it, pretty soon you wont have a fever at all and you'll be f-f-f-f-freezing your kahoonies off cause all your insulation is melting away! hehe Ok so dont worry about it too much. Youre fine. If it does go over 101 then go to the hospital cause any type of fever (whether youve had surgery or not) is a sign of infection. Ellie Quigley http://www.weightlosschronicle.com
