Can you still take Ibuprofen products after a DS?

My understanding is that you cannot take any NSAID's after a RNY or DS surgery because of absorption issues, but then I've also heard that after a number of months you may be able to use them again 'on occassion'. What has been your experience? What do you take for pain as an alternative?
