This 4th of July weekend was the worst in the almost 2 mths in the post op phase. Sunday night, I got the weirdess chills. I couldn't get warm and was shaking, yet it was 80 degrees in my house. the bottom of my ribs near my top incision felt super tight and when I coughed it hurt badly. It lasted most of the night and by the morning, I felt weak and unstable. I tried showering but kept crashing into the nearby walls. Fearing that I would fall I headed back to bed and slept 10 hours and only woke to have a few zips of Water. Today, I awoke with a pain on the top of my right shoulder, a little less weak but my stomach still felt tight. Anyone ever experience similar symptoms? I feel like I am a newbie out of surgery, DAY 1.

Call your doctor. Better safe than sorry. Good luck.

I was sleeved on May 27th. Saturday night i was getting chills. I went to bed and I was freezing. I couldn't stop shaking. My skin hurt. I don't know what it was but, it was really scary. I had 3 blankets on me, and my room was about 78 degrees. I timed it about 45 mins, then i must of fell asleep.

The next morning I got out of bed and my legs felt like noodles. I took some tylenol and after a while they felt okay. Sunday afternoon i started with chills again and went to lye down. It passed.

It was so strange, I feel good now. I was just so blown away when i read your post.

Hope your feeling better, if you find anything out let me know.

Patty, so odd that we experienced similar symptoms. I was so scared, I didn't know what to do with myself so I slept it away. I'm feeling 75 percent better than I did earlier. Hope you are too. Keep me posted, I think it must have been a 24 hr virus.

Just want you guys to know I've been in and out of the doctors office. It seems that I had an infection of some kind do to fluid left near my staple line. We were really scared of a leak but I passed a CAT scan and Esophogram. Thank goodness!!! I've been on high antibiotics for the last eight days. Feeling much better fever gone hopefully fluid too. I have a follow up on Monday. Lost almost 15 lbs in the process, no eating will do that. I'm feeling 80 percent better. Hopefully 100% very very soon.
