Talk to Surgeon ASAP: There are many possible causes of a postop fever, but the one most concerning after your operation would be a wound infection (esp if mesh was used). A fever of 103.7 cannot be assumed to be viral--this requires a thorough evaluation. Please contact your surgeon asap.

Difficult: Need more info. Do you have any symptoms? Do you have pain or swelling or redness at the surgical site? Any other symptoms? Did they give you antibiotics?
