Not after a gastric bypass. After a sleeve gastrectomy, Ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatories are OK to use, as long as it is with a PPI (acid-suppression tablet). This is because non-steroidal medication after a gastric bypass can cause ulcerations with subsequent bleeding and perforation (hole in your bowel). There are alternatives for steroidals.
