3 days post-op, with nausea and low fever

I had my surgery on Tuesday. Day one was ok, day two - terrible, TERRIBLE nausea. Threw up 3 times. Finally got home and threw up some more. Called my doctor and they said to come into the ER. I told them I didn't want to be admitted and wanted to wait it out. Now my temp has been hovering in the low 99s.

Today, I got a wave of nausea over me. I have phenergan suppositories which usually work wonders, but this nausea is not going away. Slowly sipping on Gatorade zero and water. Took my temp and it's 100.0 - not sure what's going on or if I should just go back to the hospital.

I know I'm kinda asking for medical advice, but mostly just seeing if you guys experienced this 3 days post op from RNY.

Thanks,

Dianna

    Ugh sorry you're going through this. I had no issues at all but severe nausea and fever seem to warrant a call to the surgeon or a trip to ER. Fevers can dehydrate you very quickly and that is the sca

With a fever you really need to get checked out quick.

I am going to just echo the above; A fever this soon after surgery needs to be evaluated medically, and you really can't wait. I am hoping that you have by now gotten to the ER and been evaluated and are on the upswing. Let us know.
