I was sleeved 4/20, just over 3 weeks ago. I woke up today with a headache & lightheadedness and have had nausea all day and evening. I'm very tired, too. My husband just forced me to take my temp and it is 100.6. I NEVER get sick. Like maybe once 20 years ago I got the flu. I never even get colds.

Things have been uneventful since coming home from surgery. I've felt great, no pain, never vomited, and have been on soft foods for about 1.5-2 weeks. I eat a lot of chicken, cheese, eggs, can barely stomach Protein shakes, though. Everything I've eaten has gone down fine (except a few sugary things caused nausea, things I shouldn't have had anyway).

Somebody please tell me this is nothing. Though I've seen on lots of threads that fever & nausea likely is indicative of a leak. Has anyone had these symptoms & NOT had a leak?

Ugh. Please, God. I really don't want to go through this.

Sounds like some dehydration - you want to get checked out. Preferably sooner rather than later.

Just the opinion of one rotten nurse

Without the pain I doubt it's a leak. I agree that it could be dehydration but you may also have a virus. Go to your doctor, you'll be okay.

I would head to the ED, so they can check you out. If it's nothing, than it's nothing. Better safe than sorry...

Thank you so much for your insight. I woke up today feeling pretty well, a little nausea throughout the day and tired. I spoke to my nutritionist and told her I thought I was over everything & the fever went away. She said it was probably just a bug or dehydration.

I ended up feeling horrible again and vomiting some yellow bile early in the evening. I don't have any pain and I feel fine again now. No fever, actually it's 96.9-97.5 all day.

I'm gonna call again tomorrow and see if I can go in for a leak test, just to ease my mind. The sudden onset of the symptoms just alarmed me a bit. I NEVER get sick so I don't think I have a "bug." It's definitely sleeve-related.

Have a great night, everyone! Thank you, again.
