9 Days Post Op Tummy Tuck with Upset Stomach No Fever for a Few Days?

   Without fever or intense abdominal pain at 9 days, it is unlikely to be the result of intrabdominal injury.  The upset stomach may the result of medications, which should always be taken with food.  Diarrhea may be the result of medications as well. 

It’s not unusual for patients to have nonspecific
gastrointestinal symptoms in the immediate post-operative period.  In the majority of cases these symptoms
spontaneously resolve with the passage of time. 
In many cases they’re related to the use of narcotic pain relievers.

 

In the absence of an elevated temperature its unlikely that
your symptoms are related to infections. 
Unfortunately, these symptoms should never the less be investigated.  For this reason, you should make sure your
surgeon is aware of your current symptoms so they can be properly evaluated.

The most common cause of post-op nausea is pain medication.  The most common cause diarrhea is the use of antibiotics.  Nevertheless, you should report your symptoms to your surgeon since there are other causes as well.

Your symptoms could be from several things, one being the medication you are probably taking post operatively.  The best idea is to discuss the situation with your surgeon to better determine the cause.

Patients who are in the postoperative recovery phase  are best off seeking in person examination by your plastic surgeon; he/she will be able to rule out complications and/or provide you with meaningful  reassurance.
 Best wishes.

 

The best person to give you adequate advice would be your PS. You need to call and get an appointment with your PS that would be the best.
