Hot cheeks but no fever?

Did anyone experience really hot/ red cheeks but no fever a couple days after surgery?? Maybe from the pain medicine? I'm feeling okay and drinking plenty of Water. But I'm worried about my cheeks being so hot.

      Welcome to "hot flashes", girls. --or as they used to be called wwwaaaaayyyy back in the day---"hot flushes". In my opinion: Your hot cheeks are probably contributed to the hormonal flush most

    I had a terrible hot flush today at dinner. I'm 9 days post-op, was eating broth, and it just came over me. I am in a hot climate at the moment, and only an idiot would eat soup when it's 90+ degrees outside, but there you go. No idea why it happened.

    My BP was good when I left the hospital yesterday. I woke up from a nap and my face has been red and hot ever since. There are no dyes that I know of in the medication. I'm trying to keep a cool rag on my cheek to see if it helps.

    Welcome to "hot flashes", girls. :) --or as they used to be called wwwaaaaayyyy back in the day---"hot flushes".

    In my opinion:

    Your hot cheeks are probably contributed to the hormonal flush most people get after WLS.

    If you're not old enough to have experienced menopause yet, you now have a "preview" of things to come. :)

    All of the above is, again, only my opinion. If you are really concerned about it, please call your bariatric team. They will be able to guide/ assure you.

    Good luck and please post back and let us know what your "hot cheeks" are all about.

    We had to call the emergency line for the nurse and she said I am having an allergic reaction to the Carafate that I have to take 4 times a day. So they pulled me off of it. My face would literally get so hot that it would heat up a cold rag in a minute.
