This isn't a question, but did you know that IBU will destroy a staple line?

I learned in my support group last week that you shouldn't take Ibuprophen with internal staples...unless you take Zantac at the same time. Since I've been taking prescription doses of IBU for 12 years, I guess it's no surprise that my original staple line is gone. My surgeon thinks it was disrupted within the 1st three months following surgery, due to excess vomiting, but if it wasn't, it certainly would be now. Just wanted to pass that along.
