I'm suffering way more after my weight loss, dr put me on Celebrex but i have the RNY should I ask for a revision to a VSG??

I think it would be much easier to change meds than to go thru another surgery. I think most of us here agree that WLS doesn't improve our fibro so there's no guarantee that a revision would change anything. Also Celebrex is an Nsaid which I thought RNY folks were supposed to stay away from also it's more for arthritis pain than fibro pain. There are 3 drugs primarily for fibro Lyrica, Cymbalta and Savella. Some of us also have to use narcotics to get relief. So I would try some different meds rather than try to revise. Good luck to you!

My fibro acts up really bad when the weather changes. It doesn't seem to matter if its from hot to cold or cold to wet. Weather changes just seem to put my in a flare. I don't think revision will help with fibro pain.
