Does anyone take Advil?

Hi All, My surgeon told me no advil anymore. So far I have not taken it. Has anyone taken advil since their sleeve? If so, did you have any residual effects like GERD? Thanks, Sharon

I took an NSAID for the first time yesterday. I'm 6 months post-op, which is when my surgeon told me I was cleared to start using them again. I had no problems.

i would also like to know what everyone takes for a headache..and for general non feelining well issues....i take tylenol in pill form when i need too....but, was wondering what else we could take, because i think???? i heard that tylenol does something to the liver ????? dont quote me,,,cause i may be losing my mind !!!!!!!

I have not had the vsg but since I've decided to have it u switched to Tylenol for the TOM and it has not worked. I plan on contacting the doctor in the next wk bcuz advil works the best for me. I'm due to have the vsg next month. But I have been wondering about this issue too

Hi - I am 3 months out and have taken advil for pain on a couple of occasions already since I was cleared for pills at about 6 weeks.  The doc advised they were fine once in a while (not regularly), and also advised me to double up on my PPI when I take them.  I have followed his advice and had no trouble taking them (also made sure I took with a little food).  Tylenol does nothing for my pain.

 When I went for my 1 month post op appointment a few weeks ago, my Surgeon cleared mevtomake what ever I wanted for pain/ headaches. I usually take Advil or Tylenol.

 I want to take Advil so badly sometimes, but I don't. The surface area of our new tummy is so small, I don't want to risk the possible stomach ulcerations that might occur. I stick with Tylenol or Ecotrin. I have heard that if you HAVE to take it, only take if for a short period of time and always with Mylanta or something to coat your stomach. 

My doctor said  to wait 6 months before I take any advil or aleeve

I have been having major knee issues and recently had arthroscopic knee surgery. Prior to surgery my VSG doc said it was fine to take NSAIDs regularly for short periods - a week or two at a time. And again, with a PPI and food. So far, so good.

I have been told never to take advil or aleeve. Not sure if it was just because of the the surgery or because I have Crohn's Disease, but I know both can irritate the stomach and intestinal lining.
