Hey guess, i am out of town so can't ask my Bariatric team. How long after surgery did you guys wait to have a drink?? I want one drink just to relax... Just curious??

I was almost 5 months, i had no problems.

We are asked to wait at least 6 months. Two reasons: (1) avoud alcohol's irritating effects on your new stomach, and (2) avoid transferring your 'addiction' from food to alcohol. That said, 'one' won't kill you.

Sleeved on 11/7 & got approval to drink a glass of wine for 12/31. While I had no problem, I stopped at 1/2 glass as I got tipsy so fast. It doesn't take much, so watch your surroundings.

I was 6 weeks and had no issues at all.

Very true, unless one become two! ...and so on Tread softly OP.

At 2 months. It didn't irritate my stomach. Unfortunately, I could ( and still true now) only take a few sips and I was full.
