It can be so frustrating at times I thought I was the only one with this problem can’t go many place due too having too wear a mask and having a runny nose at the same time! How am I from the point I’m up too the point I go too bed an have too wear a bi-pap machine with oxygen supposed too be able too sleep with a constant runny nose than drooling on top of that! Yes I am blessed too have gone from 515 too under my goal weight of 250 now 242.6 pounds am 5’11! To just now find out that it’s caused by having the surgery can be completely normal to have this problem an is there anyway that it can be fixed is what I would like too know?

Congratulations on your weight loss success! That is amazing, truly. I had no idea that WLS could cause runny nose. My nose is runny now and I just thought I had developed allergies or sinus issues. It's so bad that I have sores at the top of my nose where the nostril has split from me wiping all the time. It never once occurred to me it could be surgery related. I am going to follow this thread, and hope someone else has some information. And I'll ask my surgeon when I see him next week. If he gives me any helpful info, I will come back and share with you.

Since my surgery, I've had a runny nose. I always have a tissue handy. I have an appt with my surgeon on Monday and will be asking him about my runny nose and hopefully he'll shed some light on this. I'll share what I find out.

I have heard that a runny nose can be a full up signal after gastric bypass!

Mine has gone away. I had it only when full since Nov. 2016 until about six months ago it just quit.
