I'm running a slight temp and worried sick. My dr says I need to do more deep breathing. I was sleeved on Monday 5/5. Anyone else had this issue?

I had a fever the first few days after surgery. It went away on day 3. I really think drinking more Water helped but that could just be my imagination. Give it a little more time but if it doesn't stop, I would make your DR see you to make sure no infection anywhere. Good luck with your first month and recovery.

THANK YOU for your prompt response, I trully appreciate it! I am worried sick. I'll keep you posted.

Take some children's liquid tylenol and see if it helps the fever. If it does, then you're fine. If not, then I'd let your surgeon know.

Thank you....

My surgery date was April 14th. I went home the next day and by evening was running a temperature of 100. I took some of my liquid Hydracodone (the only dose of pain meds I took) went to bed and haven't had a temp since. Just watch it and if it goes over 101 call your Dr. I never even felt like I had surgery

Thank you rodeomom!

I had a fever two days after I came home up to 101, I took Tylenol and it went away. I was petrified but all was good after that.

Well I'm 2 days post op, I do have one question, what is the avg time to your soreness goes away, and is anyone having a hard time drinking your liquids?

I was only a little sore for a week or so, but nothing bad. I didn't even take any pain meds. It takes a while before you can get all your liquids in. You have to take sips for a couple weeks. I am almost 4 weeks out and I drink normally now.

I had fever temp of 101 at 1 week postop. I called my Dr immediately and he told me to take liquid tylenol and if that didnt help then to go in to see him. The next morning I woke up fine and no more fever.
