How long after surgery did your Dr. Clear you to drink wine or any other alcoholic beverage?

mine says best recommendation is never, but after 6 months it's ok. I love a glass of wine now and then, and collect wine from Old Mission Peninsula wineries.

I know a lot of people push this, but I do not plan to have anything before 6 months because it is straight up carbs and I want to make hay while the sun shines and maximize my weight loss in the beginning.

1 year, but must admit I am 7 months out, and have had a total of about 4 glasses of wine. Now 1 of my Iron test is high, so they told me to stay away from any alcohol right now, and I am.

Sorry something wrong with computer, don't know why lines came out on that one, just ignore

I had my first drink at 4 months out around the holidays. A Bloody Mary.

I'm 18 months out now, and drink very occasionally. I do enjoy a nice glass or two of red every once in a while

Thanks everyone!!!!

Since I live near Northern Virginia wine country this is a subject close to my heart. I am having surgery March 10th and I hope to be able to enjoy a sip or two this fall. My wife and I have a favorite vineyard called Bluemont Vineyard, great view, great wine!

Enjoy!!!!
