Celebrex and gastric sleeve

[Kymiep 3]

I had my surgery back in August of 2013 and I've really never had much of a success at all. I have very bad arthritis throughout my whole body and was wondering if anybody takes Celebrex? I have been taking it for a month and it appears that I have developed a small ulcer. I might have not been taking it with the proper amount of food who knows but anyway just wondering if anybody else takes Celebrex and if they do, do you take a PPI with it or anything else to protect the stomach before taking it?

I took it for a little while. My surgeon had me take it the same time as a PPI to protect my stomach. Sorry yours is bothering you. Hope it heals better fast!

p.s. I stopped the Celebrex after a few weeks because it wasn't helping me sleep better (back pain)

Thank you.... I just hope I can try it again soon. I figured to take the PPI a bit before the Celebrex and probably will take it every other day and see how that goes....it helped so much with the pain.
