I was given numbers to call with an concerns 24 hours a day. Did your Dr. give you anything like that?? I would follow up no later then tomorrow. Is your leg swelling at all??

If your leg aches, I would call the doctor.

Have you been walking? Are you able to sip your water as needed? I do believe in checking in with your surgeon, it may be a blood clot and/or dehydration. Let us know how your doing. :)

I had a low grade fever for the first few days after I got home. I just kept an eye on it and made sure to drink plenty of fluids. If you're worried though I would call the doctor.

Now it's at 100.4. I plan on calling in the morning. I'm on Vicodin and I took two Tylenol. Hopes its okay. They were giving me morphine and tylenol is the hospital. Man I hope I don't regret this surgery.

I had some problems getting in milk. Maybe because it's thicker than clear liquids but i was more uncomfortable after drinking milk and eating yogurt. I am able to get water in. I need more I'm sure. I feel my legs are achey because of the fever and not painful like maybe a blood clot would be. Either way im calling in the morning If I'm not better

My legs are a little sore too, but I've heard DVTs are an intense, consistent pain and swelling. I was sleeved on Tuesday too, so I'm curious about what your dr will tell you. Keep us posted, and I hope you feel better.
