Hi

Need to know if anyone drank when they were approximately 2 weeks+ out from surgery date... (drank .. alcohol)?

What will happen if I do? What damage can it cause? Only my stomach was removed, so I dont think it will have any effect as my liver and everything else is still exactly the same as before...

Im going to a convention and will want to party it up for sure... so wondering if I will be able to drink? Does having a smaller stomach effect how I handle alcohol now?

BTW, i dont really drink beer or wine, I mostly stick to vodka/gin.

Once again....what a couple of clowns. I never thought for a minute a "she" wrote the original post. As for judging etc. someones morals, GDC "asked" for everyone's opinion by coming on here and annoucning his intentions. Who in their right mind gets this surgery to just turn around and start abusing it 2 weeks out? Give me a break......99% of the people on here are serious about losing weight and moving onto a healthier lifestyle. The other 1% are drinking and abusing alcohol 2 weeks out.

Well, this thread got a bit crazy, even though I already posted an update.

#1. I'm a He

#2. I already did it, and had 0 problems, here is my status post re-iterated:

""I drank and had no problems... was drinking gin/tonics, screwdrivers and malibu/pineapples all night long - 2 nights a in a row.

I did try a shot of Patron, but only did half at first to test it out and because I cant take the whole shot at once anyways (i dont think, didnt want to chance pain), and that did burn my stomach a bit, so I didnt do the other half. But mixed drinks were just fine... ""

Well, "congratulations" on being able to down sugary alcoholic drinks "all night long" 2 weeks after surgery. Fabulous start to your new "healthier" life.

Everyone, lets keep it civil. Name calling is against the terms of service you agreed to when signing up here. Here is a link: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules

If you have any personal issues with anyone here, please take it to PM. Otherwise stay on topic and remain respectful.

You guys realize that this new "healthier" life style isnt about punishing yourself, but about taking everything in moderation... My problem before was going over board the few times I ate every day.

I didn't get the surgery to kill my social life, I got it to help me restrict the amount of food intake, and its working just fine. Everything is good for you... in moderation.

RIGHT ON NORMAN!!!!!

VERY WELL SAID...
