I've heard people say we can't have them after gastric bypass and I heard some day it's ok in moderation.

I really need to take some anti-inflamatories I had emergency back surgery 2 weeks after my WLS does anyone know what the true answer is or all surgeons different?

My surgeon never gave me a clear answer and my general doc said wait at least 6 weeks post op.

I'm not sure I can make it without them I really can't function right now so much of my body is inflamed.

NSAIDs can cause ulcers over periods of time. Some surgeons say never, some say okay with an acid reducers, some say very occasional use.

After being many years out, I take them only of I have a really bad headache. Maybe one day a month ( if that).

My surgeon has me on an acid reducer. I would try to talk to him but he seems to get annoyed when I ask him questions.

There are meds that reduce your inflammation with being an anti inflammatory. Like tramadol - it would be worth the research. Also there is voltran gel.

Ask your surgeon for liquid Lortab. Also, if he gets annoyed with you asking for help, dump him like a sack of potatoes. Switch, if possible.

Living in pain is not helping you recover any better. Can slow down your recovery and progress that much more. Sending you good thoughts. I hope your pain subsides soon!

Liquid pain meds forever I'm told

Nsaids have always worked better for my pain but my surgeon told me....no more. So I'm stuck with Tylenol.

I have a torn rotator cuff which is EXTREMELY painful. I am 16 months post op. My Ortho. dr. has me on Meloxican which I would not be able to function without it. I have been on the anti inflams for the past 3 weeks.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thank you so much guys. I'm gonna call my surgeon and see what he says if he even tells me that is. If not I might just press my luck. Not being able to walk without a walker is really taking its toll on me physically and mentally.

remember, you are paying him, he works for you, too bad if he is annoyed, maybe he should get a job at mcdonalds if he cant handle it....dont let him bully you...grrrrrrrrrrrr......sorry, but that makes me soooo angry....good luck to you, i hope for all our sakes they come up with something we can take....

I woke up from my gastric bypass unable to feel my left leg he told me it was from positioning on the table but it turned out some how a disc in my back got messed up really bad either from laying on the hard operating table or from getting moved from table to table. Every time I called him to get advice about my leg he would talk angry to me saying it has nothing to do with him or the gastric bypass surgery. I understand its not his fault but some advice would of been great instead of attitude.

If I need him for something again I'm probably going to see if another hospital will take me.

I've gone through hell since my gastric bypass surgery and it kills me to say that.

maybe he is afraid your going to sue him...LOL....he sounds like an idiot...so sorry you are going through all this...see if you can find another doctor to take care of you.....

Something smells fishy here. A surgeon does not just deal with what ever they are operating on. They should be looking at the patient as a whole.

I would suggest you speak to legal counsel on this. It may be a hospital issue. Not that you would sue, but get your ducks in a row.

My mom has had 3 failed back surgeries and did not act quickly enough on surgeon negligence. When she finally obtained her medical records from the first surgeon his records were so far off it was funny. For example they listed my mom as a non-smoker - and trust me she has smoked a pack a day for many many years.
