Eventually you: Should worry if you are not on any treatment, but for now the bypass is more pressing. The only potential problem related to he sjogren's and your surgery is sjogren's is an autoimmune disease so it could effect how fast you heal from surgery.

Probably not: Sjogens is usually caused by environmental stimulus that triggers autoimmune reaction directed at exocrine glands. This causes dry mouth, dry eyes, and sometimes dyspepsia and altered stools.
