Hey folks. My hubby just had his surgery on July 25th. Today he has been running a high fever with chills. No pain but he does have dizziness. He's been doing fine up until now. I called the doctor (on call, not our surgeon) this evening when the fever was 101.7, and he said an infection was unlikely this far out, and it's probably just a virus. Now it's bedtime and his temp is 102.6. I'm a little worried. I told him I was taking him to the ER if it gets to 103. What do you all think?

Did he take Tylenol to help bring the fever down

I gave him Tylenol which helped a little while but didn't break the fever completely.

It may be a leek :( you never know and i would go just to be safe

Yes that's what I'm worried about. I think I'll give him a few more hours and if the fever is still high, we will go on in.

I'd would err on the side of caution. If its nothing and you go, no harm no foul. If its something and you wait around, it could exacerbate an already bad situation. Go. Then update us.

Take him in. It is nothing to mess around with. Trust your instinct. If it was to take him, do it. Good luck

We waited and the fever did not get up to 103. It was 100.7 this morning and then normal this afternoon. Wonder what that was all about?

Sounds like it may have been unrelated (hopefully). :)

      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!!

      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...

      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
