Has anyone experienced low grade fevers the 1st week after surgery?

I am presently 4 days post-op with a Lap Rny. I had a hig grade fever (102.4) directly after surgery which soon dropped down to normal after about 24 hrs. This is my 2nd day home and my temperature fluctuates between low/normal (98.2-98.6) and low grade (99.0-100.0). I called the surgeons office and they said if it reaches 101.0, I should contact them immediately. Does this sound like a problem, or is it par for the course?
