Should my weight affect me getting allergy shots? because my allergist refused to do anything for me unless i saw a weight loss surgeon but my pcp said i was fine? so was my allergist telling the truth or was he full of bull?

: I rotated through an allergy clinic during my training and no weight issues were ever raised. Your PCP gave you medical clearance and the allergist should abide by this.
