lizv123 389 Posted October 27, 2012 I can't believe your surgeon gave you Celebrex after VSG surgery!! It's an NSAID' date=' and brings a very high risk for marginal (bleeding) ulcers...particularly in gastric patients! My surgeon would have a stroke, and then beat me, if I told him I'd taken Celebrex after surgery! Please....be very careful of that drug, or any other NSAIDs (like Advil or Ibuprofen)....marginal ulcers are nasty, often require surgery to repair, and can be life-threatening. You definitely need a second opinion.....IMHO.[/quote'] My surgeon made me stop Celebrex the first time I met him. Absolutely any NSAIDs and he'd flip out. HUGE no no. Those things are rough on normal stomachs let alone a tiny one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chicago1962 125 Posted October 27, 2012 What about your primary doctor? Do you have one you trust you can talk to and get a referral from? Your primary has your overall health in mind - not just the surgery - so he/she may have insight and ideas and will hopefully go to bat for you. I agree with everyone - you have to own your health and find out what is going on. What state are you in? Maybe put a note on the main page that you need a referral for your state. Praying for you now - and asking God to heal you... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
