I noticed that in the past few months I have been sneezing lot more, and my nose drips like a tap on some days.

At first I thought this hay fever/allergic rhinitis was/is due to my autoimmune thyroid disease because allergies come up with this disease, or get worse.

After doing some reading on post op possible symptoms (post VSG), I found that few people end up with runny noses and sneezing.

I have tried all sorts of medications and sprays (cortisone ones and non cortisone ones), and nothing much is helping.

I ordered older types anti-histamines, as the newer ones did not work on me at all. At least the older ones like Phenergan, Benadryl and Sudafed seem to relieve my symptoms, together with Beconase nose spray.

So, my question is if anyone here has been experiencing this after surgery, how long for, and did it go away for any of you at some stage?

I am in my 9th month post op.

Thank you!

I do have my mad moments at times ....

I had my RNY surgery at Kaiser six months ago they told us that when your nose starts running, your body is telling you that you are eating too much. Sometimes it runs when I eat sometimes it doesn't, its interesting
