It's been a while since I have posted, my complications have been getting me down, but I am happy to report that my hole from my abscesses is shrinking and although I am still on the wound vacuum it looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I had my surgery October 25th and was wondering about red wine. Now I haven't tried it yet and would be more than happy to wait, but has anyone tried it? Did it agree with u? It was one vice I d really like to indulge in every now and again.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I am pre surgery, but I was originally going to get sleeved where alcohol isn't as concentrated as it is with RNY. I am in the hospitality industry, selling wine is what I do. My doc was a little concerned that this could be an issue for me. I found out that 1 glass of wine for us would be like having 5 or a bottle.

My husband is a wine maker & I loooove me some Riesling, in fact it's probably what I miss most post-op. My surgeon said I could drink after 6 months, but to start very slow with it and make sure you're home with someone in case it doesn't sit well and you end up getting super drunk. Like a lot of things in the RNY world there seems to be a lot of differing opinions, but I know people who've had the surgery and drink wine just fine. Best of luck & Cheers!

Six months seems like a good time to try and I can wait that long. Thanks for sharing guys!
