Steffie7337 0 Posted July 10, 2017 Hi, I had gastric bypass surgery June 26, 2017. I had my second follow up and the doctor informed I have inflammation/ Fluid behind on of my incisions. They are saying I need to take Mobic they also want me to take omerazole and I am extremely nervous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAWildKat 82 Posted July 11, 2017 Why mobic? PostOp bariatric patients shouldn't have NSAIDS. I only know one person who takes them and that's because she has to take opioids for pain and the docs decided to swap her medsSent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pattycaketoo 133 Posted July 11, 2017 Taking the Mobic could cause ulcers from what I was told. Actually any kind of nsaid can. Seems you might need an antibiotic instead. Omeprazole is an acid reducer to help your stomach heal so definitely take that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steffie7337 0 Posted July 11, 2017 GAWildKat due to the inflammation and the pain I am having in this area my doctor suggested I take it. It was recommended by my doctor and one of the senior doctors. They stated the mobic will help reduce the inflammation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
