NSAIDS after lap band surgery?

I am scheduled for LBS on May 18. Looking for anyone who has been on NSAIDS for a long time, and either got off of them or are using something else in place of them post surgery. :smile2:

    hello lavender714

    i was taking mobic which in an nsaid and also ibuprofen almonst daily prior to my surgery. i quit taking them about 1 month before. i now take tylenol for headaches, etc.

    i have really not noticecd a big difference. the mobic seemed to really help my lower back pain, but since surgery and losing 60+ pounds so far, that is much much better. Good luck with your surgery, you will do great. I have never been sorry.:smile2:

    My surg. has told me that the only NSAID that was allowed after the band is Celebrex. I started it just a few months ago and it does wonders ( I have Fibro and other back issues.) I started it when I was about 1yr out from SX. Hope that helps.
