I am 4 weeks post op, and all of a sudden my stomach is so upset , chest and throat burning and running a small fever ... I got sent home from work This past saturday because I was constantly gaging and nauseas I'm not sure if I should call my Doc

Sorry you're not well. I would go see my PCP immediately if I were you, be safe not sorry! I truy hope you feel better quicky!

My doctor told me to always call if you run a fever. Its could be a symptom of a leak. Could also be acid reflux. I'd definitely call.

Definitely go see your doctor. I hope you fell better soon.

Call your surgeon. Hope you feel better soon!

Definitely call your Dr. Also check your pulse.. if your pulse rate is >100, and you've got a fever, it could indicate a leak. Please keep us posted, we'll keep you in our prayers.

Agreed.. Call your doctor. Feel better.

Yes, that is worrisome, gotta check with your doc, please keep us posted

Thank you all for that advise ... I called my Doctor got his answering service ... Waiting for him to call me back hopefully soon or I'm calling back

Keep us posted. Hope you feel better soon!

Hey guys, Doctor finally got back too me 2 hrs later but fever is down .... Thank God told me to take some Tylenol , pepto, plenty of fluids including power aid light or clear I can't remember exactly to get electro lights up... Possibly will have to go back on clear liquids

Good Morning!

So the pepto did not help at all fever is down though ... Ended up contacting the doctor again and he gave me some prescriptions I am now taking nexium and carafate both are the stomach one for acid reflux and one for ulcer prevention. I found out that even though I don't smoke I cannot be around people who do either . The smoke can make me prone to an ulcer ... I had no Idea ... Now that I know I'm staying far away ! On my way to recovery

Hope you're feeling better.

Secondhand smoke can cause ulcers? I am notorious for ulcers.. this is worrisome!

My surgeon told me that smoking and even being around people who do it while healing can cause ulcers

If you spend time with people who are smoking, you are smoking with them.
