My SURGEON prescribed celebrex after ulcer surgery- thought this wasn't allowed!?

I recently had a marginal ulver- big hole in my small stomach. It was over 3 weeks ago, and am still in a great deal of pain. They ran test after test, CAT Scan, Galleum Scan, found nothing. My surgeon thinks it could be muscular or inlammation, and am just sensitive to surgery (It took me a while to recover from LAP RNY as well) He prescribed Celebrex b/c he doesn't want me on percocets anymore. But I heard this has aspirin and is anti-inflammatory, both of which were no-no's after WLS. Should I really take this- I'm a bit worried considering I just had emergency surgery for an ulcer. Thanks for your help in advance...
