I am 5 weeks post gastric sleeve! Everything is going fine and I'm able to keep food and liquids down. My question is I'm having allergies (it isn't the rona) and what can I take for it? My surgeon's office is currently closed right now. I'll have to call them in the morning.

Congratulations so far! Check with your instructions/Surgeon first of course, but *almost* all over-the-counter allergy medicines comes in a children's liquid form. The directions also indicate how to use by age or weight.

Good Luck ♥️

I take zyrtec everyday for my allergies and surgeon was ok with me continuing it as soon as I came home from hospital

They gave me my daily allergy medicine post op day 2 in the hospital in pill form so I’ve been taking it every day since. ?‍♀️

I'm on several different allergy meds for allergies and chronic hives, and I was able to take them all after surgery. I was allowed to take pills that would fit in a medium straw, and most allergy pills are very small, but almost all of them come in liquid and chewable form also.
