Can I take Loratadine before mommy makeover surgery?

nbaker01
I am having the mommy make over surgery in December and I have been very diligent about cutting out all medications aside from my thyroid medication. However I suffer from Chronic Hives and I have had a flare up over the last few weeks. I have read that taking loratadine before bed will turn off the skins over active histamine sensors. I have searched the internet and can't find anything saying not to prior to surgery, but wanted to check and find out?
