Anti-inflamatories

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?

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' date=' 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.[/quote']

I don't think I would have a case I've had back problems for 6 years extreme pain but never any numbness I had emergency surgery on the disc they said was the problem since then most of the pain is gone but numbness is still there. The neuro surgeon said it could take a while for the numbness to go away.

My mom did not think she had a case either. Thats why I said just talk to someone. My attorneys will give you a free consolation. It never hurts anyone to talk.

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.

do not take tramadol!! my surgeon told me that it goes travelling straight to yoyr bowels and causes them to sleep etc. I had been prescribed them from my family Doctor and was getting really ill on them.
