Question 4

i had surgery friday, today i have been dizzy a  chills & sweats. i am not running a fever. when should i check my temp.when i m chills & sweats?

Accepted Answer

Good idea: I hear this from many patients after a variety of abdominal operations under general anesthesia. Seems to be self limiting, and may be due to the anesthesia and stress of surgery or some combination. If your running a fever, or even feel something is "not right", call your surgeon to find out for sure. Could also be a sign of infection. They'll take the call. Hope you feel better soon.

Question 5

i have no fever but experiencing chills with sweating.  i am weak and very tired,  back surgery was performed 2 month ago. don't know if this warrants?

Accepted Answer

No fever is good,: and makes it less likely that anything serious is going on.  But since you just had surgery, you should be extra careful and make a follow up appointment with your surgeon as soon as possible.  Did you just wean off narcotic pain meds?  That can make you sweaty and tired.  Are you in a lot of pain?  that can do it, too.  If things worsen while waiting for your surgeon, to the ER.

Question 6

iol lens shifts after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Most iol's remain in a stable place and position after cataract surgery.  Some might shift a little in position due to the biology of healing.  Occasionally there is a big shift which might require repositioning surgery.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

When safe: Driving should wait until it is safe. Use of narcotic pain medicine affects driving and you should be not taking it if driving. You need to be able to control your car without pain or drugs interfering with driving. You should not endanger yourself, your passengers, pedestrians or other vehicles.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Ask your surgeon: This is an important question, one that deserves an answer from the surgeon. Postoperative diet advice depends on the type of surgery &amp; the type of anesthesia provided.

Question 9

appendix recovery time after surgery?

Accepted Answer

2-4 weeks: It depends on how bad the inflammation was, laparoscopic or not?, how long you waited prior to surgery .  Whether there was perf or not?  Still, in most cases you will go home in 1 -2 days, be in pain the first week, sore the second and then return to activities the 3rd or 4th week.  I know a surgeon who had it out and was back at work the next day.  Depends on how u deal with pain.
