Is anyone taking Celebrex after RNY?

I take Celebrex for arthritis in my hands and shoulders. My family doctor said it would still be ok to take Celebrex after RNY. I told him that NSAID's not allowed but he said it was a safe drug but that he would prescribe pantolic to counter act the acid. I asked if there was any non NSAID's I could take and he said Tylenol Arthritis, which is just not going to cut it. Please help I don't want to be in more pain after surgery than I am before surgery. p.s. I read the posts on Celebrex but they were posted in 2002, wondering if there is new info out there. Thanks :)
