I will be meeting with my surgeon for the first time next Tuesday. One the things that will be discussed is which WLS procedure have I considered????? I first was leaning towards the Gastric Bypass. But in researching, I understand that patients who have had GB surgery will no longer be able to take Tylenol or Ibuprofen after surgery. Ever. And I'm allergic to aspirin. The main reason why I selected this procedure is because I heard that it's has the best success rate in placing diabetes and high blood pressure in remission. On the other hand, I heard that Gastric Sleeve success rate for patients with diabetes and high blood is not as great. Meaning that these conditions may still be present after surgery. Also, with GS patients may develope severe heartburns. Please share your thoughts and experiences. I'm really looking forward to a new beginning and don't want to think of backing out with either procedures.

I made a correction on my post. I misread the aid. Tylenol is ok.

What?? I took Tylenol because I was told not to take ibuprofen for 6 weeks after surgery. I am prone to migraines so I have to take 1000mg of either Advil or Tylenol at least 6 times a month. I am one year out and alive.
Who said you can't take those ever again??

You should see a specialist about your migraines. I have had bad ones all my life as well. I finally got a doctor who has given me natural preventatives that help keep me from getting so many. You can buy butterbur at any healthfood store and it does amazing things with lessening the frequency of migraines and then I carry maxalt which melts on the tongue for sudden attacks. You take it at the first aura and it can knock it down before it gets to the wanting to rip your own heart out so you don't have to hear that loud beating anymore phase. That much ibuprofen especially when there are better and more effective treatments just isn't good for you.
