I have been feeling great and following doctor's order's to a "T". I even agreed to do another week of a "Clear Liquids" just to give my new little pouch more time to heal before moving to full liquids. I have been having a hard time getting in 13 cups of liquids but besides that feeling good. I went to Target yesterday just to get out of the house and walk around. I even went grocery shopping with my 13 yr old who did all the lifting even closing the truck door for me upon entering and exiting. Today I have a dull headache all across my forehead and feel very fatigued I even took a 3 hour nap today. I also have a low grade temp of 100.6 but it hasn't gone any higher. Just wondering if the symptoms are normal for 9 days post-op. Yes I did put a call in for the doctor just waiting on his return call.

. The dull headache, fatigue and napping seem about right- but not the fever but it's possible your body is just fighting a cold or something, have you taken any liquid fever reducer to see if it helps?

Yes I just took the liquid Tylenol that the doctor prescribed after surgery. My headache is starting to subside now and I broke my fever.

Symptoms of a leak vary, but most commonly are excruciating, radiating pain across abdomen, fever, rapid heart rate, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramping, fatigue.

My doc told me to watch for left shoulder pain, in the back. He said it's the most common place to have pain if there is a leak. The fever could be an infection or your body just fighting something. Glad you have a call in.

I think if you are concerned there is a leak test your doctor could possibly perform. I think you drink something and they x-ray, cat scan, mri?? something along those lines I believe. I'd also guess that you would be horribly ill!

According to my surgeon, your stomach would be in a LOT of pain. Either way glad you gave your dr a call so he can maybe check you over to be safe.

I spoke with my doctor this morning and he doesn't feel that it is a leak. He thinks I over exerted myself by running errands and what not. I am still on a clear diet and am not getting that many calories he wants me to slow down. He is calling me in some antibiotics cause he said I shouldn't be running a temp 10 days post op. I go and see him Thursday.
