My partner was banded this past Monday, June 23, and she has developed a low-grade fever since this afternoon. I was a bit concerned, but since we had seen the doctor this morning and her exam and blood tests were fine, I wasn't too worried. I got on the LBT site, looked up "fever" and presto! I got the information I needed. So, we're going to keep an eye on it, and unless it goes to 101 or 101.5, we know it's normal. It is so great to have this resource available to us! She's doing really well, by the way, and has been absolutely on with her pre- and post-op diets. She was back to non-Clear liquids today, and she really enjoyed her Soup and Protein shakes. Thanks everyone!

Glad she's doing well, you're taking care of her wonderfully.

I know what you mean. I researched my band on this site a great deal and came up with about a dozen questions for my physician from information I found on here that I wanted to confirm. He was so impressed with my questions and said I asked the most intelligent questions of any patient he had ever seen. I credit this great site as my source. It really has been a Godsend!

Badgermom, glad to hear all is well with your partner and I'm sure she appreciates all the support she is getting from you. I agree; this is a wonderful site and I have learned so much from it. I love the site and the people that I have met and corresponded with from here. Everyone has been great!
