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.

I've been taking claritin everyday since surgery.

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.
