    Talk to your doctor.

    My doctor has no problem with me taking any kind of NSAIDS and I do almost daily. Tylenol is as useless as taking Skittles for pain for me. He told me since I've never had problems with ulcers before the band, there is no reason for me to be concerned about NSAIDS causing them after being banded. I only couldn't take them for 2 weeks prior and after surgery because they're blood thinners.
