Are nsaids ever safe after gastric bypass?

NSAIDs after bypass: Yes and no. Taking nsaids once in a while is usually okay. Taking the maximum dose every day for a week or two straight is not okay and puts you at risk of developing an ulcer and even perforation (which I have seen a few times). Also, if you do take an NSAID for a few days, you should also take an antacid like prilosec/prevacid/protonix/nexium/dexilant to protect your pouch.

NSAIDS after: Weight loss surgery is discouraged. Acetaminophen is ok, the rest carry the risk of causing ulcers in the stomach. Topic compounded medications may be a solution to acute, localized pain.
