I've been advised to only take Tylenol. I was banded on the 20th.

I was told that it is ok to take an Advil as long as it isn't very often... I guess it depends on the doctor...

Call doctor first just to be sure.

I took an Aleve before bed and it was heaven. And no problems.

They say that taking it could cause an ulcer in the pouch and could then erode the band, at least that what I read. I think it would take more than one time though. But hey I'm not a doctor.

I just took a muscle relaxer. My doctor and and lady from Anastasia said not to take after midnight the night before surgery. I hadn't been taking them as I lost a lot of weight before surgery but felt like I needed one today. Surgery was 48 hours ago. I feel pretty good. But that's my doctor so I'm just putting it out there. Nothing I plan to use on a regular basis again. Hope you feel better.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
