I tried to search for a similar topic with no avail. I had my VGS on the 8/29 so I am only a few days post op. I had a really rough first 48 hours post op. I was throwing up only blood to the point that they halted any fluid intake other than IV. It was very painful and it took them a couple days to find the right pain/anti-nausea combination. Now that I am home, I'm having severe back pain (worse than the incisions) and my fever has peaked over 101.0. My release information states to call Dr if a fever increases above 100.5. I know my body is trying to recover from a lot of trauma and that could be the reason for the fever. Has anyone else experienced this?? Fever, back pain, and chills? What helped/didn't help??

Call the doctor.

Liquid Tylenol and definitely call and don't wait till Monday. Feel better.

Ditto! Call the doctor!

Let us know you are OK when you are able.

I have had a mild fever but not past 99.1. The doctor needs to be notified, if there is infection it must be treated ASAP or you risk sepsis and that is very serious.

I agree, call dr. have you been keeping your fluids up? also sounds like a bad urine infection aswell as other possible complications i have no idea about, seems you had a rough time hope u feel better
