Hi All,

I'm new just joined.  My surgery date is 7-26 in Pensacola, Fl.  I have a question for any member. Does anyone know what meds are allowed for arthritis after surgery??  I've weaned my self off mobic in anticipation for surgery and boy am I starting to feel it?  Was just wondering if anyone else has the same problem?  Thanks and good luck to all us July firecrackers!

Hi,
From what I understand, according to my doctor, you can only use tylenol after surgery unless you have specific meds to protect you new smaller stomach. The anti-inflammatories are really harsh on the new stomach and can cause ulcers and other serious problems. Of course it's always best to ask you doctor to get the best information. Hope this helps!
Good luck with you surgery and your journey.
Jen
