My day is da 26th .....I'm going to New Orleans the weekend before can I have a drink ??

You could but go slow' date=' it hits you way harder now and you risk passing out. That happened to me once.[/quote']

U passed out ....hope u wasn't along ......thanks

Actually I blacked out, it was very scary. Im not sure what caused it but i was sipping on a vodka cranberry and i had eaten before that so Idk.

I will just come out and say it bluntly. Do NOT drink the weekend before surgery. Just because this is an "elective" surgery doesn't mean it is any less risky. This is a very serious operation. Alcohol will thin your blood and dehydrate you, both of which are terrible right before surgery. You might as well take a pistol and play Russian roulette while in New Orleans. If you do decide to drink, I would think that it is pretty selfish to break the rules for a weekend of fun in NOLA

Shoot i read you were preop. I dont see why you can't have a couple drinks before your surgery just make them low carb and dont do it a few days before surgery. It doesn't stay in yoru blood stream that long.

Was my permission not helpful?

Drink a lot of water after! The doc will do bloodwork right before surgery to see if anything looks odd.

I'm also scheduled for surgery on 11/26 and am currently on vacation. I've allowed myself a few beers followed by a TON of Water for the last two days. After tomorrow no more alcohol for me. I wanted to enjoy my vacation but I want my surgery and my new life more!!

Good luck!!
