Hi, I just wanted to mention that you might want to check with your bariatric doctor about taking Motrin. It is an non steroidal anti inflammatory and can cause problems in the stomach, usually ulcers, when taken after surgery because we have scar tissue and are more predisposed to it. The Motrin may be adding to your problems. My surgeon was against NSAID use after surgery. The first 6 months they were not allowed at all, and after only in exceptional circumstances and taken with an anti acid like Prevacid. But he preferred not using it. You may already know this but I thought I'd mention it in case it never came up with your surgeon. I asked because I have arthritis that was being treated with the NSAID Celebrex.
