Copying this from the original section, and sticking this.
Keep in mind, IF your surgeon prescribes these medication, go by your surgeon's instructions, but be mindful of anything that seems unusual and harmful, and report them to your dr.
If your dr seems to be unfamiliar with weight loss surgery, then let your dr know that there are medications you are not supposed to take due to the harm it may do to your pouch, then let your dr judge what to do.

However, there are a number of medications that some people need for their diseases. The final say is up to the dr, so discuss this with both your surgeon and the dr who prescribes the medications. If they know what you need, and are keeping an eye on you and tell you to take them, then do so, but also whenever something seems off, let them know ASAP so you don't developt anything serious.
This is a list for you to protect you from inadvertently taking something, especially OTC, and so your drs don't kinow what you are taking, and have some bad effects from the medication.
Your arthritis may improve with weight loss. Or, if the pain becomes uncontrollable, ask to see a pain management specialist, they can develop a combo that is safe for you.

My surgeon said it is okay to use, but you should check with your surgeon just to make sure.
