Will this cause a delay in surgery? Has anyone went into surgery with sinus congestion. It’s not severe, what can I take to clear this?

Call your dr about what you can take. It won’t delay your surgery unless you have a fever.

You could get some saline nasal spray and try to clear it out that way.

I called them and they told me I could take Zicam, Airborne, or Emergen-c. I got Zicam and Airborne. I tried the Zicam first and glad I did. I feel so much better and able to breathe!

      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.
