    Most doctors say no to NSAIDs which Motrin is...

    Does your doctor allow NSAIDs?

    When were you sleeved? If it was within the last month then I would say no...however if you are more then a month out then you should be fine. I take regular Motrin all the time..I just make sure to have something in my tummy first.

    Tylenol is an NSAID too. It's due to the thinning of the blood that we aren't supposed to take it post op. thankfully after we are all healed we can take them again. Still got to make sure so etching is in our stomach first so that we don't hurt it...especially before Motrin.

    Tylenol isn't an NSAID....it is should be ok to take it for a headache. But check with your doctor if you have any questions before taking it. Hope you feel better soon!

    Tylenol is not an NSAID. We shouldn't take NSAIDs because they are a stomach irritant and they do cause gastric ulcers which would be very bad for us. I wouldn't advise using it ever again. It's not worth the risk. NSAIDs do not thin your blood either. The only OTC medicine that thins blood is aspirin.
