Dr. Freeman recommends that you avoid anti-inflammatory or NSAIDS following weight loss surgery. These types of medications can cause ulceration and bleeds in a normal sized stomach, so it is a concern for the small gastric pouch. Examples of these medications include Motrin, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Celebrex, Bextra, etc. It is fine to use Tylenol products.
