You are NEVER allowed to take any NSAIDs. That is aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc. unless your doctor is different, mine (and most I've heard) say no NSAIDs ever again.

Consult with your doctor, you may have an underlying problem for your headache. You should also become familiar with the class of NSAID medications so you won't mistakenly take one. Good luck.

You can take NSAID and it takes large doses over an extended period of time to cause bleeding taking a dose every now and again is ok you can even take daily doses for a period of time you stomach is not any different now than it was except it is smaller than before

No Nsaids ever my dr. said. When I had headaches after surgery I was told to take Liquid childrens Tylenol and it worked on my headaches and when the pain was mild in the belly.

I stopped my prescribed pain meds. as it was making me hyper so I couldn't sleep, and switched to Tylenol Extra strength rapid release gels. They're pretty small and I can manage 2 sips of a drink to get them down and they worked wonders for pain. I also had hiatal hernia repaired so I was in pain since release from hospital Friday. Tylenol worked better than Percocette-go figure!

      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! 😞
