I was told I could reintroduce alcohol in moderation after I had reached my weight loss goal and maintained for a few months.

Not for at least 6 months. No beer though because of the carbonation. AND I really enjoy beer!

Nine weeks? Your stomach isn't fully healed! :faint:

I was cleared at 6 months.

Be super careful with alcohol. With WLS drinking alcohol is like getting an alcohol IV. With almost instant effects. Also if you ever had any addiction issue with it. The rate of alcoholism is sky high with WLS patients. I would say stay away from the stuff forever.

I will leave on August 23rd and I resume back to drinking six weeks later because I wanted to make sure that my incisions on the inside heal properly

Hi! I was sleeved on 11/3 and I had the same question as there are quite a bit of holiday parties going on this time of year. My NUT said I can have alcohol in stage 3, so that would have been about 5 weeks post surgery, but to be mindful of sugary drinks and empty calories. I've had two glasses of wine on two different occasions, slow sips, seemed to take a while just to get through one. I didn't have any ill effects or anything. I also drank a lot of Water that night and the next day.
