You can take NSAID's after the VSG. I dont think you can take them right away, but eventually you will be able to take them again. That was one reason i wanted the DS or VSG. I would ask at your pre-op appt how far out you have to be to take them.

I have an appoint next month Nov. and I'm definitely going to talk to her about it.  Thanks so much for your response I hope to be NORMAL very soon. 

Sorry, I am so used to being on the VSG forum that I forgot to mention that that is what I am having, so your thoughts are even more relevant! 
Thanks for the info - and wow - 46lbs in a month, great job!  I can only hope to have your success. 

Hello fellow PCOSers, I have a question for ya!

My surgery date is 10/14, and I am just getting off of the BC and Spiro, hoping that the surgery will help me have a period on my own.  My question is - does the surgery help with cramps at all?  When I get my period, either from BC or from my occasional natural period (once a year) if I'm not taking it, my cramps hurt so bad that I can barely get out of bed.  Before, my doctor had me taking 800mg of Ibuprofen three times a day for the whole period, plus 2 days before and after.  She also gave me darvocet, which I have to use for about 2-3 days,  because the ibu. doesnt take away all of the intense pain. 
I am nervous about this, because of the inability to take NSAIDs after surgery.  Is darvocet ok?
Or, please tell me what I want to hear :o ) and that the cramps go away. 
Thanks for the help!

thank you
