When is it safe to go and lay in a tanning bed post op. I'm a month post op as of today and I have a membership that I haven't used in a few months that I'm still paying for. Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Well thank you. I do feel a little better now. I'm just so paranoid about slippage cause I'm self pay :cry

I drank alcohol last night. It hasn't even been 2 weeks since my surgery and I feel like crap today. I ordered a beer without even thinking about it cause I was already drunk. I feel so stupid that I did that. I think it's what made me throw up. Do you think that my band could slip after one mistake? :help:

Well see my doctor never said No Carbonation. So I dunno. We'll see. Thank you for your input

Thank you so much for your suggestion Matt!

Ya that's what happened to my mom. She waited a month and she went to the casino and had 1 gin and tonic and got pretty messed up. I'm a light weight anyway. I'll probably wait 3 weeks. But damn I'll miss chugging beers

Well my mom waited a month and she seemed fine. I dont know. My doctor has never told me anything about it post op.

I had my surgery done on Nov 28, 2006. I was wondering how long do you think I have to wait before I start drinking alcohol again? Because I'm only 21 and I still want to enjoy my life.:help:

Hey everyone! I'm Melissa from Houston, Tx. I was banded November 28, 2006 by Dr. Ira Kasper. I'm still a little sore but alot better than I was. I've lost a total of 20 lbs. I lost 9 lbs pre-op and 11 lbs since my surgery. I can't wait to reach my goal and lead a much healthier and happier life. Good luck to everyone out there. I'm sure we'll all help each other out during this long journey. Thank you.
