Alchohol Consumption After Sleeve

[jacksmommy719 63]

I was just wondering, after getting sleeved, can wine or any other alcohol be consumed? I'm in no way an alcoholic but I have a wedding in April to go to and I was wondering what the rules were?

I think each surgeon has different guidelines. I asked that question 1 month post op 2 weeks ago and he said wait for 6 months. Others on here I am sure have done so beforehand. So, I'd just ask your surgeon what his guidelines are.

Yes you can have wine I am almost 3 months out I have drank wine with no problems but you can feel the effects a lot sooner I haven't tried beer yet

I probably shouldn't be saying this out loud but I tried alcohol last week and it gave me the diarreah. It's only been a month since surgery. Ooops. I'll try again in a week or two. Is that bad?

My surgeon always says at his seminars that after surgery you will become a "cheap date" because for most alcohol hits you quicker and it dont take much to catch a buzz lol

So true about being a cheap date , even for food. I don't order when I go out, I just get bites from whomever I am with. Clubbing, all I need is enough for on drink and a sober driver!

I have a vacation in three weeks to Napa/Sonoma for a week long tour of wine country and by then I will be four weeks out from surgery. The vacation was planned a year ago and the surgery date that came up just happened when it did. Talk about timing.
