My doc has prescribed Brufen in suspension, and it is an NSAID. this freaks me out a little having seen many of you post that you are absolutely not allowed these. Anyone else in my boat?

My PCP, surgeon, and bariatric doc at Kaiser told us no NSAIDS period. Even with a heal spur I was told no. So I take tylenol. :)

we never use them on gastric by pass pts, but heard several sleeve docs say they are okay for sleeves once completely healed?? but they are known to cause increased acid production.

Was this your surgeon that prescribed it? If so then I would trust that he knows what he is doing.

Wow! Once again, I heard much different than most... For a year I've been taking 500 mg of Naproxen daily because I have a torn meniscus. (Orthopedic said it wasn't surgical yet and because of my weight wouldn't do much good anyway- part of the reason for my sleeve.) Surgeon's office told me to stop it one week before surgery, which I did. I asked the surgeon post-op what to do because my knee was getting sore again (which means limited walking). He told me at day 1 post-op I could resume it! He just advised to take OTC instead of my prescription because the pill is so large. However, I've only taken it maybe 2 days since surgery. Once I start working out and not just leisurely walking I will probably have to go back on it.

Thanks for all the replies, yes it was prescribed by my surgeon to take at home after being on pethidine shots in hospital for pain. I wasquite nervous taking it last night, but no ill effects so far and this morning I took my PPI, waited an hour, then took it. it seems to be okay but it doesn't exactly go down well- lots of burpy bubbles.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
