Fever, nausea...

I'm so bummed. I had my surgery yesterday morning and felt absolutely amazing afterwards. Dr was thrilled with how well it went. This morning I developed a headache that didn't want to go away. I had the drink test to make sure I wasn't leaking and everything was fine.

One hour before I was set to be released, my head hurt so bad that I became nauseous. They have me zofran through my IV and I felt better immediatley.

Now I'm sitting at home with the killer headache and vomiting. Sips of Water make me throw up. I called the nurse and she thinks I need to go to ER. I am so bummed :(

Good luck, so sorry, and please message how you are. Sending up a prayer for you!

Sorry to hear you're feeling so bad - and agree with comment above, I hope you are in the ER now. Fever is not good.

I had a similar experience. Head pounded like nothing on earth. I phoned my surgeon who asked if I drank much coffee before my surgery of which I told him I did. It turned out I was having withdrawals from caffiene. Hard lesson to learn. I do hope you are feeling a little better today xx

I had my surgery Thursday 6/19 too! I'm home but I'm still dealing with nausea! I think it's from the severe gas pains I also am running a low grade fever too! Praying this gas subsides soon!

Well lastnight I was in contact with the doctor and he thinks the headache was from the anesthesia and the nausea was from the headache. They called me in suppositories for nausea and that helped tremendously. They said if my fever was above 101.5 to go in. It never got above 100.9, then went away this morning! I feel SO much better.

The nurse and I have been texting all morning. She told me not to push the Protein yet until I feel better. I'm keeping my liquids down just fine!

The scale this morning said I've lost 20lbs!

I'll take it :)

Glad to hear that you are doing better!

I had my surgery Thursday 6/19 too! I'm home but I'm still dealing with nausea! I think it's from the severe gas pains I also am running a low grade fever too! Praying this gas subsides soon!

I had mine 6/18 and was sent home with nausea medicine did you get any? Walking will help with the gas. Hope these past quick for you.

It's a little better today, but the gas still hurts a lot! I'm barely eating/drinking anything on this clear liquid phase cause it all hurts!

I know it gets better day by day and I'm looking forward to this journey, I just have to make it thru this first week!! Baby steps....
