Allergies and bypass surgery?
I am scheduled to have bypass surgery on October 27th. I am allergic to a lot of environmental things. I know that Asthma, which I also have, often goes away with weight loss. But, has anyone had their allergies go away or lessen in severity. I have also heard that sight often improves with bypass surgery.
rbb825, thanks for your reply, I have my pre-surgery exam on Monday. I will talk to my Dr. about Xyzal. I almost bought my year-supply of generic Zyrtec at Costco but, thought I better see if I can still take that. I don't need allergy shots YET. Zyrtec usually seems to work, even though I am allergic to cats, rabbits and small rodents and I work at a vet clinic. Some cats bother me more than others and fortunately we don't see too many rabbits and rodents.
My allergies are the same as they were before, but I find that before I used to have allergies develop into respitory infections and my allergy symptoms would knock me out sometimes. Now, I rarely get sick and I can handle my allergies better. It may just be that I take so many vitamins and eat healthy now, so my body can handle the allergies better.
