nsaids after RNY
You can have them any time you want to. However, the risk of ulcers does not ever go away. It doesn't lessen in time. So basically, you can have them if you feel it's worth the risk.

No, the risk does not go away. If you are dependent on NSAIDs you might want to consider a different surgery.
I used a lot of Excedrin Migraine before surgery, and my neuro switched me to Fioricet.

It's not recommended, although some surgeons will say occasionally will be ok if taken with a PPI. If susceptible to ulcers then you definitely do not want to take a chance. I've taken NSAIDS 2-3 times since surgery for 2 female procedures but do my darnest to not need or take them.
If NSAIDS are a necessity definitely consider the Sleeve or DS since you can take them with those procedures.
