Question:
Has anyone had chills, fever,headache and tiredness?

I'm 5yrs post-op from lapband surgery. In the past 2 yrs. I have been going thru severe chills, fever afterwards a headache and extremely tired. I've been diagnosed with migraines, but that doesn't explain all the symptoms. I've had migraines in the past and the meds don't always get rid of the headache. I've also had my sugar checked a number of times as it runs in the family (Father,mother,sister,brother). If I take a HOT bath, drink ICE water and lay around for a day or two, I seem to be much better. These epesodes are happening more frequently...HELP! Has anyone else gone thru or are going thru this after successful lapbanding?    — TMClem62530 (posted on September 12, 2009)

Have you had any blood work or evaluation by your Physician? Normally, a fever means your immune system is fighting off an infection. Has your Physician done any testing to identify the cause of these symptoms? Migraines normally do not cause fever/chills.

Chills and fever are a sign that there is an infection somewhere in your body. Fighting an infection can make you feel tired. Are you having any reflux at night that is waking you up? If so, you could be getting some of the material being refluxed into your lungs causing Aspiration Phenumonia (sp). Please see a doctor soon!
