For several years I've had to deal with asthma. If it was cold out, I couldn't breath. i hated talking on the phone because talking would start me coughing. Exercise would set off wheezing and coughing. There wasn't much I did that didn't set it off, before my WLS.

While I was sitting here, reading the posts and responses, I realized that I have not had any coughing or wheezing for some time. I can talk on the phone, any situation and not have to excuse myself because of non-stop coughing. I can exercise, sing, anything I want. How great is that?

Has anyone else had a problem go away since losing weight?

That sounds like an amazing NSV!

My asthma to has mostly gone away. I still have to use my inhaler before I go running, but at least I can run now.

All my asthma has gone away. I haven't used my inhaler in two years. Also, all of my allergies are gone as well. I have not had to take any meds for that either!!

I no longer take allergy meds

I no longer take medicine for diabetes

I no longer take pain meds for knee and back pain
