Wine? Anyone tried glass after an amount of time

[sunshiinej1 3]

I am wondering if after an amount of time having the sleeve surgery has anyone tried a glass of wine. I have never drank much in my life but just wondering if I'm out to dinner or at a party if I could handle a few sips of wine. I am 8 weeks post opp and eating small amounts of regular food with no issues.

I am almost 4 months out and I enjoy wine. I got the green light at 6 weeks. It may effect you differently then it did prior to your surgery so would try a glass at home first.

My doctor said no alcohol ever - he said with the sleeve sx, alcohol is very corrosive to the new surgical line and could lead to ulcers if not leaks.

White wine irritates my sleeve. Red wine is fine. I get an almost instant buzz tho and tbh it's not overly pleasant.

My Dr. said at 4-5 months a glass of wine was okay. I tried a margarita at 6 months out.... Only drank half and had horrible heartburn/reflux. Needless to say we won't be going there in the near future.

I had a few sips about a week ago. It was a charity event that was being hosted at a Wine Tasting School. Fortunately it wasn't impolite to take a sip or 2 and then dump what was left (and they were pouring very small amounts anyway). Even at my highest weight.. I was a bit of a light weight when it came to alcohol. Fortunately this was small enough & stretched out enough time wise that it didn't really hit me. I will say that when I got home I was famished.. even after having a Protein Bar on the way home.

I am 8 weeks out and have had a few (small) glasses of wine. I haven't had a problem. I have also had a mixed drink with no problem, but I did sip over a long period of time.

I am 7 weeks out and had 2 glasses of white wine with dinner last week on my birthday. No real problems, no heartburn etc. I ate 1/3 of my dinner so it didn't hit me hard. I did have a headache and was really thirsty when I got home. So then I was up every 2 hours in the bathroom that night. I won't be drinking any wine again anytime soon. Not that I really care anything about liquor -- food has always been my drug of choice.
