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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
