I've seen several long lists of medications you have to avoid if you have gastric bypass but I haven't found a list for the sleeve. Is it the same?

Specifically I'm worried because I have severe allergies, I have to take 3 allergy meds a day (zyrtec, claritin, and allegra) just to be able to leave my house, and my allergist told me to always have benedryl on hand in case of a severe reaction. Most of those meds were on the *do not take* lists I've found. This worries me. I'm planning on getting the sleeve though so hoping maybe there's a different set of med rules for this surgery.

This was one of the reasons I went with the sleeve.

Arthritis meds are a must when I need them .

So you can have more meds with the sleeve?

this was one of the reasons I chose the sleeve.

I take salmon oil for ADD. and I needed to be able to continue taking that capsule, and a few other supplements,

I also take benadryl sometimes, and I keep it on hand as I have a serious allergy to certain bee stings.

I found a lot of useful information, and it includes a list of acceptable medications after Sleeve:

Thank you for that list!

This has confirmed for me that the sleeve is the way to go.
