Gastric Bypass Before and After Gastric bypass surgeries before and after

What types of allergy medications are safe to take after gastric bypass surgery?

I had bariatric surgery at the end of April this year. I know I'm not allowed to have certain medications (as it will hurt my stomach). Well, I am suffering more than ever before with my seasonal allergies – it's crazy! I have Reactine (from last allergy season), but I'm not sure if I can take it? I have been trying to find some literature on the subject, with no luck! Can anyone help me out??

If you have major surgery like gastric bypass surgery, especially because it was very recent, I would talk to your doctor. Allergy medications are usually anticholinergics, which dry up the bodies sectrions and make the stomach produce less stomach acid and make changes to your digestive system. Because you have stomach surgery I would not mess with drugs that affect your digestive system.

I would not risk doing over the counter drugs. You don't have to make a doctors appointment, just give your doctor a call. He/she could just talk to you for a few minutes and get you a prescription.

My advice, call your doctor!
