Taking Allergy/sinus Meds After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I am real concerned because I have sever allergies and need an antihistamine and decongestant on a daily basis, i was told by a pharmacist that I could use childrens liquid medicines but at my weight or even a normal adult Id be taking about a bottle a day and the cost alone would kill me. Does anyone have any suggestions...I cant go without my medicines living in Texas.

Benedryl is safe for sleevers as are many other allergy meds. Just avoid the ones with NSIDS (is that how it's spelled). Of which there are many OTC so you have to watch out for them.

Have you tried nasal spray allergy meds? I use Beconaise AQ and it beats the heck out of pills. It builds in your system and cuts off all allergy response. No side effects!

Beconaise is old school (first one developed many years ago) but I find it works better for me than anything else, and for anyone I've recommended it to. I go 100% allergy free while on it (after about a week mind you when I start). I have never found it to wear off in effectiveness.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
