aspirin: A baby Aspirin a day is usually acceptable. Taking bigger doses for pain control, headache, etc. Can be too irritating to the gastric pouch and cause an ulcer to form. If there is a concern with the baby aspirin, just take a proton pump inhibitor daily to protect your stomach (ie prilosec, nexium, (esomeprazole) prevacid, protonix, dexilant).
