Patients are usually advised against taking all types of NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) two weeks prior to having surgery. The reason for this is because NSAIDS can thin the blood, causing increased bleeding during and after surgery.

Doctors advise patients to take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or a presription med instead, if something is needed for pain.

Before And After Surgery?

Getting surgery can be a very scary experience, but thankfully, bariatric before and after policies make it a much easier thing to handle. One of the most interesting ideas to make it through this very scary experience is to go to a support group. Not surprisingly, it can be quite difficult to confide your problems to people who haven't experienced the surgery first time. Find solace in being properly prepared by a support group, and rest assured that afterwards, you will be able to discuss your experiences with the support group - it can be quite uplifting to realize they are there for you!

Can you take propranolol and aspirin together?

Ask your doctor before taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for pain, arthritis, fever, or swelling. This includes aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn, Naprelan, Treximet) and quite a few prescription pain killers. Using an NSAID (like aspirin) with Prozac may cause you to bruise or bleed easily.


Is lap band surgery diet healthy?

There really isn't a lap band surgery "diet" per se. What there is is a change in eating habits that is necessary before the diet in order to prepare for surgery and then a gradual change after surgery from a mainly liquid to soft food diet to one that reflects "normal" foods. The diet can be quite healthy if you make good choices for balanced nutrition. Conversely, it is not healthy if you do not make wise choices.
