I am 26 days post op and was wondering if i might be able to have one mixed drink? I am going to my company holiday party and was hoping that one drink wont kill me lol anyone know or has anyone drank around that time and been ok?

Sorry, I'm not sure if it would be ok or not. I was just told at my 3 month post op two weeks ago that I could now have a drink if I wanted, but I still haven't. I originally was told to wait 6 months before I had surgery. I'm sure someone on the site will get back to you having drank after a month.

I had a glass of wine at about two months, no problem at all.

I had wine at 6 weeks with no problem...

Jager bombs 6 weeks out.. went fine, just got buzzed super fast.

two months should be your minimum. You are too early. Your stomach is not healed (the incision) and if you can picture pouring alcohol on a fresh wound....that's basically what you would be doing. I am a huge wine fan, but even I waited two months (actually 3 but who's counting). Really, it's not a good idea and you also don't know how it will effect you. The last thing you want to do is find out it makes you drunk quickly at a company party!!!!

Thank you you are right I won't chance it its not worth it I will just make sure I take my liquid vicodine before hand lol

Ok so I drank but very little like less than 1oz of vodka with 7oz of cranberry juice it didn't even give me a buzz so it wasn't even worth it but I feel fine it was probably not enough to matter my pain medicine gave me more of a buzz anyways I still had a really good time at the party laughing at all my drunk coworkers
