Just wanted to see if anyone is taking Celebrex post surgery, misspelled Celebrex previous poll........sorry Lori
-
Hi, just wondering if anyone out there is or has taken Celebrex post surgery? My band date was 1/14/11 my doctor said that it is not safe to take Celebrex or any NSAID which can cause band erosion. My Rhumeatogist said that Celebrex is safer on the stomach that any other NSAID's over the counter or RX and taking with Nexium would make it safer. I have RA & Spinal Stenois, with 3 neck surgeries. Also have infusions of Remicade. Just wanted some input on what other people are doing. Thanks Lori

Hi Ms. Mel,
Just read your old profile about taking NSAIDS, did you take Celebrex at any time? Hope you are doing well and have no more problems............Lori

Hey, just found this age appropriate site, I have RA and Spinal Stenos with 3 surgeries on my neck. My doc wanted me to go off Celebrex and I tried but my pain level really increased, my doctor said I could take it as long as I realize it could cause band erosion. Interesting your doctor told you to take it with Previacid. My Rhumatolgist indicated that taking Celebrex and Nexium together would really help prevent stomach problems also. As to all the meds you listed above I have been on all and recently started Remicade since the other two were no longer effective. Remicade has been helpful, started Nov./10 but unfortunately have had allot of recent falls so its not as effective has it had been prior to the falls. I found that both Humira & Enbrel to really help at first but like all meds at some point your body gets used to them and are no longer effective or you get worse. Wish you the best of luck...........Lori

Thanks for the update Barbara. From reading some of the post on fills, indicated that it would take a couple of weeks to get the full effect of a recent fill, so try not to get discouraged. Did your doc, tell you how much he put in with your fill? Keep up the good work and keep me posted on how you are doing. Lori

Hi there. I had my first fill this week. I don't see much of a difference yet. I am down 18 lbs since my apt before surgery. I am trying to focus on what and how much I am eating to have control on that. Please let me know how your doing

Wanted to see if anyone out there chews sugar free gum? Have read that bander's shouldn't chew gum due to the possibility of swallowing the gum and getting stuck in the stomach opening. Thanks

Hi Barbara,
So sorry haven't gotten back to you sooner. Have been in a real slump, hungry all the time and over eating and very angry and upset about it. Feeling better and getting more control over eating, will have my first fill on 2/22. So glad you are feeling better, maybe we can compare notes after our fill appts. Take care and keep up the great work.........Lori

Hi, Lori. I am doing much better. I started excersing this weekend, it felt good. I am hoping that this week I will really buckle down and exercise more and watch what I am eating. I should be getting my first fill on 2/17. I am so glad that I am feeling more like myself again. How is it going for you? How is the weight loss going? Take care, Barbara
