My dr. is really big on the asprin per day thing for prevenitive heart problems etc. I just had my annual check-up last wk. and forgot to ask him about asprin being a nsaid(not for sure if this is the correct term),but part of the pain releivers that are on the list that we are not supossed to take? thanks terry

Yes, baby asprin is an NSAID. If your band doctor says no NSAIDS, and your regular Dr. wants you taking them, you should check with your band doctor. :myscared:

Losing weight, getting healthy and getting plenty of cardiovascular exercise is probably a safer way to prevent heart disease!

I'm in the same position you are. I take 1 325 mg asprin a day. I had a hole in my heart which they repaired with a cardioseal implant and I was on coumidin for about 5 years. A year after my surgery showed to be successful they took me off of coumidin due to the dangers and put me on asprin. Now here I am??

Due to family history, my PCP put me on aspirin therapy 3 years ago. I spoke to my band Dr. about it, and he said since I take 1 baby aspirin a day, just to be sure to take it with food, and I'd be fine.

Talk to your Dr. often times there are solutions!!
