Question:
I am almost 4 months post-op and I have been running a low grade fever for a week

I started getting a cold last week and had a fever with that. I kicked the cold very quickly and have been feeling pretty good, however I have been running a fever since Friday. It ranges from 99 to 102.3. I really don't feel too bad, just a little drained. I called my PCP and they set me up for an appointment on Friday. Should I wait? Should I be concerned?    — Kathy P.

Call the office and speak to a triage nurse, they can answer your question based on their guidelines. Good Luck!

Keep in mind not every illness or symptom can be attributed to the fact that you had WLS. You sound like you caught a virus. I'd call your pcp tomorrow if the fever continues or you feel worse, otherwise Friday will probably be fine.
