I drank a small shot last night and it burned and ached inside of my stomach for at least 5 minutes. The pain was excruciating! Needless to say that will be the last time I do that! Has anyone had a similar experience?

I had a scotch on the rocks about 2 months after my surgery. But I sipped it and it was probably watered down by the time I finished. I didn't experience any problems. Could be also because I take protonix 2 X daily.

How far along are you?

I began drinking wine in my 6th week and have had no problems.

Almost 8 weeks out. Today has been terrible. All day I've had the same burning pain that I had when I drank. It's like it's eating through my stomach. If it doesn't stop soon I'm going to the er

That happen to my cousin everytime she drank liquor. She has acid reflex real bad after she was sleeved. Are you on acid reflex medicine? If not take something over the counter and see if that helps. Just a suggestion. I don't want to influence you from not going to ER if you feel that bad.

How much do you drink? Do you feel it fast?

Alcohol is not supposed to be consumed for several months out. One guy said he got ulcers from alcohol.

I think I'll just forego alcohol for the rest of my life. I'm fine without it. But reading the risks, I can't put myself in that position and don't want to. Be careful to those who decide to have it. Enjoy it safely for me.

Same here. I'm 7 weeks out and I'll have a small glass or two a few nights a week. It's weird, when I tried Riesling (sweet higher sugar white wine for those who don't know) it never really hit me. I thought something was wrong with me and I still had my tolerance from before surgery. But as soon as I tried a drier red and white it definitely hits me faster. I just go slow and enjoy it.

I was told no alcohol for 6 months

According to some, not all.

I drank a small glass of wine after 2 years surgery and I passed out like a light never again...lol

If you aren't into alcohol or "avoiding it for the rest of your life" and all that.... Why are u on this thread then?


Soooooo NOT a teachable moment yo..... Ijs

I use to be a wine consultant, so wine is my favorite! I also drank it in moderation. And actually before I decided on surgery my NUT told me I could have 4 oz a day. But when I decided on surgery I stopped drinking. And it was refreshing. I save so much $ too. Because I would open a bottle and then drink a glass and that be it. Red wine is only good for two days once opened.

But now I am six weeks out and still no craving for alcohol. I set a goal though. Going on vacation end of March to New Orleans so planning to have a drink or two. Wine has sugar so I'll make sure to have no sugar foods that time.

I also know that it's all temporary. I'm still in healing phase.

The key is Moderation!

My doctor said not to try it for 6 months. And when I do try it to have a driver with me to get me home! lol Remember though, it's empty calories anyway!
