Hi   Del

definataely not!!!   in you binder  you should have a list  of  medications you can not have

you can not have nsaids  of any kind and that includes celebrex


Have your doctor  contact  Dr.  cloughs office  please  so that  he or she can be informed on what you  cant take and  why.  the   small intestine that is in place now  will get  an ulcer if you use   nsaids and you definately dont want  that.

Take  care  and  hope your weightloss journey has been  good.   glad you are with us!!!!

Welcome Del,
Sorry if this sounds a bit abrupt BUT I would wonder about any doctor that new you had RNY and even suggested celebrex.. It is a NO NO.
I have severe arthritis, did before RNY and I knew going in I could never take Nsaids...
Good luck
