Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 From what I am gathering from the information posted it is the affect it can have on the pouch itself just like taking Ibuprofen. I could be wrong on this as I was misinformed on the other. My new concern now is that I did take this for a while post op and have been having serious problems with swallowing. About the same time I also took a very strong antibiotic for my face that also has been shown to cause problems. I have trouble swallowing sometimes and have gastric reflux symptoms again. I've been taking Prevacid for this but still having symptoms. I see my WLS in follow up on 11/15 and will ask for a scope. I have trouble with burning when I eat certain foods. Odd thing too is that from the time I took that antibiotic and the vioxx is when I stopped losing ! I just figured it was coincidental and still may be. Just thinking outloud now I guess.
