Okay post-sleevers, what's the raw truth on colds and allergies post-op?

With all the snot and mucus and post-nasal drip, how does this affect you? I can imagine post-nasal drip easily filling a tiny sleeve...

Colds and allergies are miserable no matter when you get them.

Tylenol Cold Multisymptom is my friend.

Knock on wood, but I haven't been sick very often since I was sleeved.

Keeping up with your Vitamins is important.

I have hay fever in the South. Sneezing, runny nose and eyes. I have finally found a no name allergy pill that has helped me. You sure won't fill y,our stomach with any phlegm, etc. It will be in your lungs. Good luck, I have had no yearly bronchitis in three years since my sleeve.

snot and mucus and post-nasal drip,

@@Fredbear

yeach - really does sound gross LOL

you'll hear many things worse on the board

i think a cold is a cold is a cold etc

i don't think the cold will effect your sleeve/tummy/nose any different PO

there might be certain medicines that are NSADS that you can't take

good luck with pending surgery

speedy recovery

I'm a lifelong hay fever and other allergy sufferer and I know this will sound so tired but seriously the neti pot and saline nasal sprays have been life changing for me at clearing out congestion.

But when all else fails - sudafed.
