I had surgery Nov 2013 and I'm thinking I can have a Samuel Adams lager one tall glass per day. Will it really be a big deal. Same with ibuprofen or aspirin. I understand early after surgery definitely not but how about now.

I'm not sure how different Gastric bypass is but a friend of mine is 5 years out from that one and used ibuprofen for a few days for a pulled muscle and had an actual ulcer from it.

I have another friend who's brother drinks a good bit and is still early on. Not sure what that will do.

My surgery was July 2013 I have been using ibupropfen almost daily since 4 weeks after surgery,my surgeon knows and said liquid is better then pills but if I take pills (I take pills ) try to take with food and drink so it doesn't sit on your stomach lining. But this is from my medical team...you may want to check with your own m.d. Best of luck with your decisions!
