I would like to know if NSAIDS can be taken (including topical) after Gastric Bypass surgery.

I am about have my paperwork submitted to insurance, for Bariateic Surgery, but need to make final decision on which procedure to have. I have been told that for me, the success would be pretty much the same for either procedure. As we get older there is a potential for the need to use blood thinners and taking medication for joint issues etc...i would like to be well informed before making one of the most important decisions in my life, and choose wisely. This single swaying factor for me.
