When they say no NSAIDS they mean it!

Wow, thanks for the warning.  My bariatric surgeon also told me I could take motrin once in a while, but I haven't and don't plan to.  I'm glad to hear you're feeling better and got a proper diagnosis.

Also, I love you picture!  I have  Berner too.  Best dogs ever!

Thanks Karen.  I don't want to scare anybody, and if your surgeon told you could take motrin once in awhile, you may be able to.  I was given an nsaid that apparently would put a hole in a normal stomach, and added to that was the stress of the surgery and dehydration.  And I think it may be dependant on each person as well.  I know for me though, that I am done with nsaids, unless like I have said before, its required to save my life.

And I love my berner.  She is 4.5 yrs old.  She has been great except for needing double knee surgery! 

My Berner is 8.  He has bad rear legs, but he does just fine for the most part.  He just can't walk in our kitchen because it's too slippery.

I am so sorry to hear that you have been going through this.  Let's hope that the doctors have got it under control.  Wishing you clear sailing from here.
