A member asked:
Is it ok to take a small does of ibuprophen (one 200 mg) ) as a post gastric bypass patient?

Post Bariatric Surg: Yes. That is the simple answer. But, if with that dose you feel any burning or acid or increase of pain then in your case it may not be so safe.

Probably: Probably yes - but it is impossible to tell you that without knowing your full medical history. Speak with your surgeon.
