Hello All!
I am new to the bariatrics community, I have done research for the past 10 months have pulled the trigger to go ahead with bariatric surgery. I am scheduled to meet my doctor on December 15th, 2016. After many months of research i have gained comfort on choosing the gastric sleeve procedure (of course if my doctor agrees that it is suitable). I have never been so ready to change my eating habits and lifestyle...
The reason I have created this post is to find out more about social drinking after gs. I am 20 years old and as my first appointment is approaching I find myself fearful of having to let go of my "partying days". On average I usually go clubbing once or twice every few months, and I won't lie... I definitely enjoy getting a little bit inebriated. I know all the risks of alcohol abuse post op and i am emphasize on the fact that i am not a big drinker, but on those special occasions, i really do enjoy having some extra fun.
So my questions are... has anyone else felt this way? What is it like being drunk after gs? Does it feel the same as pre-op?
I'm so happy to have found this forum, where other people my age may be able to relate to me and give really great advice.
If you have anything else too add, I would love to know!
Thank you!
