What's Dr Cirangle's viewpoint on Nsaids for VSG?

Yeah I don't think Tylenol works for anyone!  Even extra strength.  How much advil do you take?  I found pre-op I had to double the dose to work with Advil or Alleve. Not sure if it's a good idea to take double dose now.  Maybe having lost weight a single dose will work better than before.  (doubtful though)

I take 2,  sometimes 3,  every 4 hours.   Sometimes it starts to wear off before 4 hours are done so depending on how much it hurts I may take the next dose sooner.   I don't like cramps!

Me neither I suffered through the last 3 periods since surgery with no nsaids.  I was miserable and couldn't function at all.  Glued to the heating pad for almost a week each period.    It's not going to happen for my next period I'm giving in.  If I get an ulcer I will have to deal with it later.  rrrrggghh.

I asked him in the hospital after my VSG and he said they were fine.

From my experience, I'm staying away from them.  I also don't have any major need for them like you probably do.  I just know that I woke up in the middle of the night with pretty severe pain, that came and went like waves, and found out I had three ulcers from ibuprofen.  This was all prior to surgery and I was also on a PPI.  NSAIDs just work so darn good, though!
