Yeah I have issues with alcohol because I had a couple sips of a drink ... That's a joke also

My doc cleared me for 3 weeks . Guess it just depends on your surgeon. There are so many different answers that's why I asked in the first place . And before I asked I did research on the topic . Got many different answers also

If you can't abstain from alcohol long enough to let yourself lose weight and heal, then how will you control yourself when it comes to food? Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Your surgeon must be losing marbles, because I don't know what surgeon in their right mind would approve alcohol consumption LESS than a MONTH out. It seems as if you weren't and still aren't in the right mindset for this journey. If you didn't want people coming at you like you have, then you shouldn't of posted something that sounds so incredibly ignorant. To come on here and boldly say that you're less than a month out and enjoying alcohol is bound to attract negative comments.

So for all of you with this "Alcohol causes leaks and liver damage' date=' and ulcers, Just got back from the dr.s for my 2 week check up . I asked him about every single concern and risks that people were saying. He said it is no different than how alcohol affects a regular liver. And started laughing when i was concerned that it would cause a leak!!! I dont know where these people get this info from. I have googled this topic, researched and came up with exactly what my doc told me. High calorie intake, and more affects of the alcohol due to ur low tolerance. My doc is one of the top leading surgeons in the Orange County area and i take his advice over anyones in this forum. Sorry to burst your bubbles. he gave clearance of 3 weeks !! So all that crap talk about leaks and things is NONSENSE from alcohol!!!!!!!! THANK YOU DOC!!!!![/quote']

You have your answers you had them when u started this thread so good luck to you

How can people like you be so quick to judge . I guess next time I won't be so truthful. I think I'm doing excellent with my weight loss. I go to the gym 4 times week , getting all Protein and liquids , and lost 25 pounds in 17 days . And. My surgeon is one of the top leading surgeons in Orange County . So yes if you want to judge because I took some sips of alcohol that's your problem not mine.

I doubt people would be 'so quick to judge' if you hadn't come off so rude in most of your posts. That's obviously going to cause some backlash. Plus a lot of people are so thankful for their sleeve and the new life it's given them and take it very seriously, so when a rule that some doctors have been adamant about sticking to is broken it can be a big deal. Most of these people were just trying to warn you of the harm you could be doing to your body.

Well to comment to Sarah - the lush - if u were so concerned u should of went straight to the doctor and stop looking for attention on these blogs - it's sad that we all tried to give u advice from our concern and what could of been told us and u laugh at us - I don't think this is a forum for you bc u have been so negative and snotty to everyone who gave u advice - so listen to ur doctor and bottoms up - and stop being such an a*****e to people that r trying to help

I didn't mean to come off rude but some people were calling me a b***h and other names , guess I went into defense mode. And there are so many different boundaries of when not to drink alcohol . Some surgeons say 3 weeks 1 month 3 months just thought I would put it out there . Guess shouldn't be so truthful next time . But I do apologize if did come across rude to any of the people here. . I really do like these threads they have been really helpful!

My nutritionist said that drinking puts added stress on the liver which is already under stress from the rapid wait loss.

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
