I had surgery 11 days ago and I had a slight fever for the next 5 days after surgery. It never got above 100.4. I called my Dr. a couple of times and he reassured me each time that it was normal and not to worry. He also said that anything above 101 was when I would need to call. My fever never got above 100.4 and it subsided after the 5th day.

I am a stomach sleeper also. I had surgery on April 28th and I just started sleeping on my side a few nights ago and it was so much more comfortable than sleeping on my back. Although last night, I decided to try sleeping on my side with a pillow under my stomach. It was so much more comfortable and I was able to sleep somewhat on my stomach, if that makes sense. My port is also under my bra line and is very noticable, especially after eating.

Just wanted to introduce myself! I have been going thru the preapproval surgery requirements/process with my Dr's office since late Dec. 2010 and now it's finally here! Surgery is scheduled for next Thursday, April 28th. Now on day 5 of my 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Going well so far. tTrying to find some variety of liquids/protein is a little challenging. Looking forward to a new lifestyle and progress!
