At first I was told no Ibuprofen. Then one of the nurses said that was only for bypass patients and that with the sleeve Advil was fine.... What have you all been instructed?

I was told nine if that it irks steroids if you are sick. Just Tylenol and bendryl

I was told to never take it again after surgery.

I was also told no more NSAIDS and my PCP adheres to that very rigidly.... I's rather not chance it. In fact I was prescribed Tylenol with Cod and that make my stomach start to spasm as if I was over dosing.....Never had that happened before surgery....So I know that my body will not tolerate meds that I've taken in the past...

I was told absolutely no NSAIDs after surgery. It's hard on the lining. No ibuprofen, naproxen, Celebrex, etc.

However, during my leak hospital stay, they gave me Toradol and told me it was an NSAID but was fine since it was intravenously administered. No contact with the stomach.

This is a problem for me. I have flares of tendinitis and costochondritis, also osteoarthritis. Whole lot of swelling in body. Hopefully the weight loss keeps it at bay but my surgeon said if it becomes a serious problem, we'll have to discuss steroids or injections.

Tylenol, Tylenol, Tylenol! Hot or cold compresses, massage, if needed hydrocodone or another prescription pain med. Good luck!

I was off Celebrex for a month post op. Now I take it daily. It was ok'd by surgeon and rheumotologist.

I know a few other people on here that are allowed Celebrex, too. My surgeon says its a big fat not. They vary on it. But from what I know they almost all agree absolutely not NSAIDs. Lucky you though! I'm jealous! Although that PLUS the daily Norcos and everything else I'm on for a pain disorder would probably kill my tummy.
