I had my lapband July 22,,,What medicines can I take for my allergies? I called my doctor's office and they said "PRETTY MUCH ANY OVER THE COUNTER MEDICINE".....just wanted to see what you all take and what does the best......I would prefer liquid, ,,like cough Syrup stuff,,,but,,,I don't want anything that will hurt the band or aggravate it....Thanks!

Benedryl makes a liquid. I've never had it before though. I've taken it in pill form without any problems.

what did you take before your band? Benedryl personally knocks me on my butt, but almost everything is OTC now, Claritin, Allegra etc .. ask the pharmacist for suggestions

I've taken Zyrtec daily for years now. It's a small pill and I even took it 1 day post op. It won't hurt anything and it won't make you sleepy.

zyrtec here too. works better than the claritin for me. I go to BJ's (wholesale club) where the generic is $15 for 300 pills!!! Everyone in the house takes it so we save a ton buying it there... actually, in 1 month we save enough on it to justify the yearly membership fee

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
