Fever
Hey all
I'm running a fever this afternoon 101.5 - I've searched and searched through my paperwork from Scottsdale Bariatric, but only found info about taking liquid Tylenol. Since the office is closed, does anyone know of what else I need to do? I'll obviously call tomorrow morning and double-check, but thought I'd ask.
Thanks for your help - hope everyone had a nice weekend!

when I got desperate with consitipation and nothing else seemed to work... like glycerin hoo-hoo's or exercising or increasing my water intake, I finally bought some ducolax as per Randy. I only took one and boy did that take care of it. 3 hours later I felt so much better.
I know what you are experiencing... I feels horrible. I feel your pain!
Nicole... you are 2 months out right?
You should be cleared to have pills now if you can handle them. I did find some liquid tylenol at CVS one time when I was pre-op.
But, you should be able to handle pills now.
I remember at my one month class they told us we could go back to taking pills without crushing them. It took me until about 2 months to be able to handle large sized pills, like the big multivitamin.
Hope you feel better!

Hi Nicole: I had only one problem since my surgery and I am just over 4 months post op. It WAS constipation. I was so impacted on 2-3 times I almost landed in the hospital. It did give me flu like syptoms and the pain was horrible. My doctor also suggested benefiber but I was so constipated that benefiber seemed to make it worse. Then he put me on Miralax. It worked within 1 1/2 days. When it does work watch out. You need to clean yourself out really good and then start a program so it doesn't happen again. As always ask your doctor about Miralax. You can now buy it over the counter. Believe me it was my life saver. I haven't had to take the Miralax in almost a month now and I am more regular now then before surgery.
Hope this helps.

When I went to the store this afternoon I checked out the Miralax. Not to sound gross or anything, but on the package it says not to take it if you are experiencing rectal bleeding, so I opted not to get it. I definitely need to give the office a call in the morning and get this figured out. It's a real pain in the...well.. ;)
