Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has taken or is currently taking an anti inflammatory after surgery? I was on Voltaren for multiple issues and since I have been off it since surgery, I am in so much pain. When I asked my surgeon they did flat out say no it more like wait awhile and we will see.

I was taking it while I had the lap band with no issues. I had a upper GI and a barium swallow for other things and nobody said I had issues due to taking the Voltaren.

My weight loss has pretty much stopped/stalled after 7 weeks due to not being able to exercise.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Sorry wrong forum..

I take the occasional ibuprofen and don't have any issues with the sleeve. In the literature it said not to take anything, after surgery the surgeon said it should be only taken when absolutely necessary to function. I was however not on any prescription level of anti-inflammatory medicine.
