[Zombiefreakreyes 7]

Did anyone else take Advil liquid caps when they left the hospital? How soon after?

Was told no ibuprofen. It eats your stomach. Use Tylenol....you can get liquid.

No ... was told "NO IBUPROFEN-BASED PAIN KILLERS OR ANALGESICS".

It was in big print in the clinic folder.

Adval is a NSAID. One of the common problems after bariatric surgery is developing ulcers. Taking NSAIDs can cause that problem, so it is best to avoid.

The paperwork I received has NO NSAIDS FOR LIFE printed in bold. I was told for OTC pain relief, it should be Tylenol only.

I was told no NSAIDs for at least three months post-op. Even then they still prefer tylenol.

Exactly this.
