A member asked:

It is highly unlikely that you have sepsis. Bilirubin increases in people with Gilbert on fasting and that may have been the explanation of your jaundice in the post-op stage.

A prominent feature of sepsis is it disables you, taking your blood pressure and energy level down to the point you are not walking around experiencing life. If it were to happen after the surgery it would have been evident quickly. If you are functioning at a reasonable level, although not fully recovered from surgery, you are not septic.
