Most surgeons say you shouldnt drink for at least 3 months post surgery but recommend waiting a year due to high risk for bleeding ulcers Sent from my SM-N920G using the BariatricPal App

Hey there! Does RMC have their own weight loss program you need to be in to beq approved for surgery, or did you just go there with a referral? Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App They have a program and support system at the hospital for their bariatric program. I didn't need a referral. The way it works is r different surgeons are part of the program and have their own requirements. With Dr Weaver I just had to meet with him, have a psychological evaluation and attend a nutrition class the process was simple and his staff is super helpful Sent from my SM-N920G using the BariatricPal App

One think to watch out for is alcohol. My Dr said not to drink for 1 year after surgery due to risk of bleeding ulcers. Your tolerance changes dramatically after as well

A lot of surgeons will not do the procedure if you do not quit smoking at least for 2 weeks prior to surgery and 6 weeks after due to the fact that smoking after surgery can lead to infected wounds and slows the healing process Sent from my SM-N920G using the BariatricPal App

I would love to join! My surgery date is December 7 Sent from my SM-N920G using the BariatricPal App
