LynnM. got a reaction from logicwand in Pain killer alternatives
Tylenol for after everything is healed. DO NOT take ibuprofen, Aleve, Naprosen, Aspirin etc.this can cause perforations at the staple sites. I work in an emergency department and I cant tell you how many times I have seen bari patients come in with abdominal pain only to find out they were taking NSAIDS

LynnM. got a reaction from Jamocoa in So I fell off the wagon
I think the hardest part for me is finding the motivation to just get back on track. I LOVED how I felt and looked at 150lbs and you think that would be motivation enough but I am always just so tired

LynnM. got a reaction from domi in Pain medication after any bariatric surgery
I work in an emergency department as a Paramedic, I am currently also in nursing school. Just an FYI for those of you whose Dr. did not advise you or you forgot.... Do Not Take NSAIDS (Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve, Naproxen, Aspirin). They can cause perforation at the staple/suture sites because these sites are weaker in integrity than the rest of the stomach tissue. I have seen so many people come to the ER for complaint of abdominal pain who say their Dr. never informed them of this.
