Runny Nose!

I've seriously have had a runny nose since surgery.... Has this happened to anyone? Lol.

How far out are you? I have heard from several people that they get a runny nose after they eat. For them it is a sign that they are full.

Your vagus nerve may have been irritated during surgery. It runs along the top of the stomach, and controls much of your upper body's functions -- the stuff you can't control, like hiccups, sneezing, and yes, a runny nose. As @@Yaberhoo says, many people find that if they eat too much, they get a runny nose post-sleeve. If your runny nose is constant, it seems likely it will clear up within a few weeks as the nerve calms down. If it doesn't, check in with your surgeon just to make sure everything is okay. Good luck!

Thanks ladies. I'm 8 days post op so just drinking fluids. I don't feel like I'm over doing it on fluids, I haven't even hit the max yet. I see my surgeon on Monday so I'll mention it

I get the hiccups out of the blue for no reason.

The hiccups I get as well. My surgeon said its typical at first. He felt like I was probably getting air into my stomach from my water bottle etc. he said well just monitor it.
