Avoid them, but you can't NEVER use them.  Just don't use them on a regular basis.

Thanks so much everyone. From what I'm hearing, it's better to stay away from nsaids as much as possible no matter which procedure I have. It really make a lot of sense b/c my  (string bean) husband developed a perforated ulcer that was very deadly years after he no longer took them. So even though normal ppl develop ulcers, I suppose the risk IS higher with WLS patients with smaller stomachs.

if you watch the link in my last note, you'll see he talks about how bad they are for everyone.

Hi there

My surgeon said using NSAID'S was fine for vsg patients but to be careful during the first 6 months of healing. I was on a slow release 800mg brufen twice daily for chronic pain and inflammation.

This was not something I wanted to risk my new healing stomach with so I have consciously shifted my diet to be as natural as possibe including anti inflammatory vegetables, ginger & tumeric tea etc. I've noticed a difference in the flare ups with the reduction of processed food and when I really need it I use celebrex which seems to keep things at bay without needing prolonged use.

This is just my experience but hope this helps somewhat.
