I have a fever



Recommended Posts

My surgery is set for May 5th, and once again, I have a fever. I'm a little afraid they will cancel my surgery.

I have no idea why I have a fever, I don't feel sick, just headachey and I'm cold.

The thing is, I had to redo some of my labs because my white blood count was high last time, I was on the verge of a double ear infection.

So I thought i might have had a fever last night, because I felt cold (ya know how you can just tell) so this morning Ihad a headache,

took 2 Tylenol and a few hours later felt fine, and went to get my last batch of labs done.

I've seriously been sick non stop since I stopped smoking in February. One thing right into another.

Well, I'll just hope for the best. but the way mt luck has been it won't be good. dry.gif

Stay positive - you may have some sinus issues going on, they are bad right now. I will send positive thoughts your way so you can get through your labs with flying colors! :)

Hey Terib...although it would be a bummer to have your surgery canceled, make sure you DO tell your doctor about this fever. You will receive antibiotics during and after the surgery, but you still have to be on the same page with the whole medical staff.

Let's hope your fever goes away by itself, but you should take it easy these next few days.

Best,

Dr. JSA

Thanks so much for the positive thoughts and great advice. My temp was 99.0 this morning, so that's a good sign.

My prep doctor is nearly psychic, I don't know how, but she knows everything. (she's a little scary) laugh.gif

She's a teeny little woman who pointed her bony little finger at me and told me NO SMOKING. and man oh man did I oblige.

If I want this surgery I will obey. So I will tell her about my fever. or else she'll just call me out on it. lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
