Running nose after WLS

2025/1/7 Edited to

... Read moreExperiencing a running nose after weight loss surgery (WLS), particularly gastric sleeve surgery, is not uncommon. This symptom may occur due to various factors, including changes in diet, allergies, or residual effects of anesthesia. For many patients, the body's adjustment to a new diet can lead to increased mucus production. It is essential to stay hydrated as dehydration can exacerbate nasal issues. Doctors often recommend drinking plenty of fluids to help thin mucus. Additionally, using a humidifier can add moisture to the air and help ease nasal congestion. Over-the-counter antihistamines may also be effective if allergies are suspected. If the problem persists, consulting a healthcare provider is crucial. They can rule out any underlying conditions or provide appropriate treatments. Engaging with support communities online, such as those found in forums dedicated to WLS, can also offer practical advice and shared experiences from others in similar situations. Remember, maintaining a positive contact with your healthcare team is vital during your recovery journey.
