Can he take NSAIDs after the bariatric sleeve surgery?

Thank you all for your responses, I guess I will wait until I see Dr. Nagel and ask him. I appreciate all the comments and all the sympathies.

Talk with your surgeon. I have severe arthritis in my knees/feet and was under the impression that I could use an NSAID.  Imagine my surprise when my surgeon said No!  Giving up the NSAID has been a trial, I have to say. I take arthritis-strength Tylenol, which does help a little but not a lot.  The pain in my feet and knees has slowed down my exercise.  Well, that and the knee arthroscopy I had 2 months ago. I'm hoping I will continue to lose weight and that will take some of the stress off my feet, especially

You're an adult. You can take NSAIDs if you so choose, no matter what your surgeon says.

Just be aware of the risks, and weigh the pros and cons. With a Sleeve, you are at no more risk that you were pre-op. Not one bit.

NSAIDs thin the mucosal lining of the digestive tract, and that's how they increase the risk of ulcers in ANYONE who takes them. The "no NSAIDs" thing comes from the increased risk for RNYers developing an ulcer in their remnant stomach, which Sleeved people don't have.
