Hi everyone, has anybody taken any nsaid since lapband sx, been having lower back and right leg pain, went to doctor today, he said from where i was heavier my facet joints adjusted to carrying that extra weight and since i have lost close to 40lbs they are trying to fall back into place so it is causing irritation and inflammation, he said i could take aleve to help until i go see a rehab therapy md to help me adjust to this new me, i know we were told to stay away from nsaid directly after sx but i am a year out, was just wondering if anybody had any feedback on this, thanks

I have taken NSAIDs regularly since surgery 8 months ago with no problems. My surgeon is aware of it, too. I just wasn't allowed to take them 2 weeks before surgery or 2 weeks after because they are blood thinners.
