photogirl70 142 Posted September 24, 2018 It's my understanding that we should avoid Advil b/c it is an NSAID. I would double check with your surgeon. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S@ssen@ch 745 Posted September 24, 2018 Advil is a NSAID, NSAID's increase your risk for gastric ulcers. With your smaller stomach, the NSAID itself stays in the stomach longer and increases that risk. Most bariatric surgeons advise against use of NSAIDs in sleeved and bypass patients. But, every surgeon is different and has different post-operative advice. So, double-check with your surgeon. Other NSAIDs: aspirin, naproxen (Aleve) 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
