My sister was sleeved 2 days ago. Overall she is doing well. However, she has a slight temp of 99.8. Should I be concerned that she may have a leak? Is 99.8 even considered a fever?

I ran a fever for 4 days some as high as 103°, the hospital told me to call if it got over 101°. Pretty normal

Fever for our hospital/ER 101. and that would be 2 hours after tylenol. Just keep and eye on it and stay hydrated. Good Luck Linda

By the way, when I called the surgeon called me back and said ibsounds good and asked how I felt. I felt fine other than the fever and he told me to take tylenol and call back in the am innit didn't go down... It did and stayed down.

From what I understand it could be from dehydration and not walking enough. Try both and see if it goes down. A fellow sleever had it too and it went away. He had his surgery the day before me.

They told me using the breathing thing would lower it... Sort of like a dog panting... Gotta get good oxygen flowing

I had one and they told me it was common with bariatric patients if they had any little bit of fluid in lungs. I had to kick up the use of my spirometer. Good luck to her and what a great sis for seeking support/answers.

I had one for about two days under 99.7

Deep breathe, and sip sip sip.

Thanks everyone! She has been walking, the nurses told her she definitely won the walking race at the hospital. I told her everyone's recommendations. I am just a worry wart older sister. I hope to have my surgery the 2nd week of June.

I was also told the more you use the breathing thing then the fever will go away

Thanks everyone. She is doing much better. ????
