I had a low grade fever last night, 99.3 but it went away after taking some tylenol. Well, it's back again. I feel warm but no pain aside from that. Dr's office is supposed to call me tomorrow to check in.

I'm pretty sure a fever of 101 is of concern but that 99 & slightly over isn't a big deal? Do my fellow sleevers agree?

NO..I do not agree..Any fever at this stage of the surgery is worth looking into...You need to check this out ASAP. Do you feel sick to your stomach or dizzy?..Do you feel full and almost full to exploding?....Are your incisions puffy or leaking?...If you feel any of these things....Go now do not wait for your Doctor to call you tomorrow....K

In a hospital, we do NOT consider 99 a fever. You're right, >101 is what we treat.

However, you are not in a hospital. So, I'd suggest letting your doc know about your temp and also that you are taking Tylenol.

However if your temp. continues to rise even though you are taking Tylenol....Contact your Doc. ASAP

I consider it a concern for your temp to be 99 at all. I had someone who fell and was sent to the hospital on sat evening and they came back and I got there back to work this mormning and they were warm. I took that persons temp and it was 99.9. I told our nurse and she charted it and said to keep an eye out for it. I find that I worry about temps a lot on people. I would call the ER about it and ask them what they think. Yes they might tell you we cant give you any medical advice. But it shouldn't matter they should tell you yes or no to come in since you just had surgery. Which I would just go in and make sure everything is ok.

I was sleeved on Thursday and have been running a low grade fever since Friday. It has went to 99.9, but not over. The surgeon's office called me on Friday to check in and told me that a low grade fever is common and to contact them if it goes over 100.5.

I ran a low grade fever off and on for a couple of weeks post op. I'd call and since that was my only complaint, they were not worried as long as it didn't turn into something worse...but I was on guard tho. Nothing ever happened and at the one month mark it stopped.

The more I slept...the lower it would go. So I just tried to sleep as much as I could.

Call and ask tomorrow. Each program deals with this stuff differently.

If it doesn't respond to Tylenol I would go to the ER. Otherwise wait go to the Dr, tomorrow they can draw labs. I honestly would not call the ER.
