[|AI|]  Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. Read and reviewed your query and health concerns. My opinion-IN the given situation, You seem to be having-GERD with acid reflux induced Cough from legal irritation. Possibility of Chest-Congestion with slight cough you have is very less than there is no sputum with it and as doctors have checked and cleared you for the Gastric Sleeve bypass-in 2 days. Dos Suggested-In case you happen to have chest congestion-your Surgery would be cancelled by anesthetist / surgical team, till its fixed and treated. X-ray chest after clinical lung check up by Physician would verify and would treat it, if it's there. Other causes of Cough with no sputum, needs to be verified and ruled out, before giving any treatment.  Hope this would help you to plan further of this complex illness of yours.
