stomach pain, hardness, fever & chills??? 6 wks post op.

iv been looking for this question in the library and can't find a thing? yesterday i hurt myself, i am not sure how or when... just that my stomach began to hurt yesterday. i am 6 weeks post-op today. i was sore the first few weeks, but since week 3 i have been great! no soreness, no pain, nothing... since yesterday i feel like i did my first week. it hurts to get up and down from the bed, it hurts getting out of the car, out of the chair...bending and just moving period hurts! around my belly button area of about 4 inches in diameter, it is rock hard. my stomach is bloated there and puffy, like it is swollen? i woke up this morning with the chills, and a low grade fever (100.4) and i took a hot shower to make my body stop shivering and since then, i dont have the shakes anymore... my fever dropped & is now 99.2 i do not know if they are connected in any way or just coincidence? i called my Dr's and have yet to hear from them... i am just wondering if any of you have experienced this? or know maybe what my problem is? i think i am dehydrated as well, i have been in the sun (beach & pool) awhile the past couple days (about 1-2 hours each day)... but i didn't go swimming in the ocean yesterday- just the pool & not very long (that was on thursday)... but when i pee, it is just a tiny dribble & it is bright yellowish/orange in color, and that is all i go every day for a week now? i only go about 2 or 3 times a day...with baby dribble. i know this is long but i am trying to give all details... does anyone have any idea what this pain and hardness in my belly is? could i have a hernia this early post-op? i did have open RNY. low fever? chills? confused and waiting for some kind of answer- thanks a bunch!!
