Advil after surgery

Did anyone else take Advil liquid caps when they left the hospital? How soon after?

      The paperwork I received has NO NSAIDS FOR LIFE printed in bold. I was told for OTC pain relief, it should be Tylenol only.

      Was told no ibuprofen. It eats your stomach. Use Tylenol....you can get liquid.

      No ... was told "NO IBUPROFEN-BASED PAIN KILLERS OR ANALGESICS". It was in big print in the clinic folder.

    Adval is a NSAID. One of the common problems after bariatric surgery is developing ulcers. Taking NSAIDs can cause that problem, so it is best to avoid.

    I was told no NSAIDs for at least three months post-op. Even then they still prefer tylenol.
