Just trying to see if we can take aleve?

If your doctor said "no NSAIDs," then no.

The answer is, it depends. Aleve is an NSAID and some surgeons say sleevers should never take them again, other surgeons say they are okay a few times a month, and other surgeons say no problem. Call your surgeon's office.

General rule of thumb is "No NSAIDS" and Naproxen, is an NSAID.

That said, I've also been told that limited usage *should* be ok.

I don't like "shoulds" personally so, I avoid NSAIDS completely.

My doctor had me on hydrocodone/ibuprofen 7.5/200mg 1 po 4-6 hours. Ibuprofen is a NDAID. I’d ask your doctor

Yes it is. I'm deathly allergic to celebrex. My surgeon tried to prescribe that. I asked him if he was crazy. Still don't understand she prescribe it. Celebrex is a Combo nsaid and sulla based drug

It is an NSAID. But it is unique as it is less harsh on your stomach than other nsaids. I was prescribed that after my sleeve for that reason
