tylenol etc…another point of view
My doctor’s concern about these types of medicines is only in PART ulcers.
His real concern is the abuse the liver takes in the quick weight loss phase
of wls. As your body loses weight, the liver gets over taxed. To add to
that pain meds that are hard on the liver may be overkill and can damage the
liver. That is why he actually tells us to “tough it out” unless it is
REALLY severe pain and then he prefers a narcotic over over the counter…I
personally think after the weight loss period and your liver has had time to
recover there is LESS risk for occasional use of otc pain meds.
