After being sleeved on Dec 3, 2013, my body doesn't process alcohol the same. Please save the "you shouldn't be drinking anyway lectures." If I drink mixed sugary drinks, or even wine a little too fast, my face gets very flushed. Another symptom I now get is a severe pain behind my left ear. Has this happened to anyone else? I have googled the ear pain from alcohol and it points to Hodgkin's Disease so I'm a little worried now. I also have had a small lump the size of a pea about 4 inches below my armpit for about 8 months.

Thanks.

Before being sleeved some drinks would make me get flushed if I touched my face it be hot or id get red patches. Stop drinking those drinks immediately, doctor told me it's a allergic reaction and your insides swell up and you could stop breathing it's best to take a Benadryl. Pre op I was a big drinker I sticked to what I could drink slowly I started to drink other stuff there's tons of stuff. Your bump definitely get it checked ASAP. Good luck.
