    I would not chance it. You risk bleeding especially at only a month post-op. It also effects people more after WLS and 1 shot may be the equivalent of having 4 shots prior to surgery.

at the very least it's straight up carbs and calories. probably slow you down a good bit.

Pain. Possible damage to your sleeve. The possibility of the alcohol hitting you so hard you pass out.

I still can't have shots at 2.5 years out. Half a mixed drink or a glass of wine makes me pretty tipsy. A full cocktail and I probably couldn't walk straight.

Then of course the calories.

You asked for the repercussions so that's all I'm gonna say.

Do not do this!! Very dangerous!! If you are having issues with alcohol, please don't hesitate to reach out to your surgeon to get the right support!

Have patience young grasshopper. In time you will be able to consume alcohol again (if you really want to), occasionally and in moderation.

My husband was trying to get me to take a shot to try, I wanted to prove to him it was not a wise choice. #ididntcaveintothepressure. Thank supporters for coming through
