How Soon After Surgery Did "you All" Have Alcohol ?

you should be able to handle one glass!! check with your surgeon's office to be on the safe side

I did, it is a sleeve sin I guess, but I am not a perfect person. I have been having wine since two weeks out. It goes down and stays down perfectly(for me). Happy early birthday!

My nutritionist recommended never drinking alcohol again. But this is not realistic. Moderation is key.

My surgeon / NUT recommends waiting a year. Whatever you decide, keep in mind that you will feel tipsy quicker and then feel sober quicker, but your blood alcohol level will remain elevated. So be sure to have a driver, even if you feel fine, because if you get pulled over and do a breathalizer, you may be illegal. Be safe!

thank you LaBelle 509, i will definitely be calling the Dr's Office and hopefully having that one glass soon, thanks for your feedback, greatly appreciated :-)

i might try that one glass next wkn. or may just wait until my b-day and treat myself :-)

thanks for the feedback.

thank you all for the feedback, greatly appreciated.

I had a wine Spritzer about 2 months out, and it wasn't a problem. I am not a big drinker to begin with,so I really just took about 5 sips and was done.
