Just a curious question--let me also note bit planning to, but...what would be effect if having some wine prior to the 3 months mark? My family is very social and I'm dreading this part if Thanksgiving tomorrow...

I would have a few sips in a tiny glass.

I had wine about 3 months post op and had no problems what so ever ! I did not get buzzed I had the glass of wine about a hour after I ate, I sipped it slowly and totally enjoyed it. I'm almost 8 months post op now and can drink socially like I did before surgery with no problems. I do not get buzzed faster or slower... the surgery has no effect on my alcohol consumption.
