I was told 6 months... I am 7 weeks and just asked my facilitator this morning. She said my liver is still "stressed" from the surgery. She recommends waiting 6 months. At the earliest 4 months. I cannot wait until I have a drink lol, I'm thinking christmas I will try one lol... If you learn different then what I was told I'd love to hear it!!! lol

I had my first drink @ 6weeks. No problems, but it did hit me a lot harder.

I had a drink 2 months out (wine) and I was fine. As far as the champagne, it is carbonated so never.

I waited 3 months and am totally fine. My surgeon told me a year and I thought that was just plum crazy! I cheched around on this site and moste people were told to wait anywhere from 3mos to a year, depending on their surgeons preference. I went with the low estimate, because clearly my surgeon is conservative!

I was wondering this too. I'm not a big drinker at all. But of course, once you tell me I can't have something, that's all I can think about! Lol, I'm 2 months out now, but I think I'm going to wait for 4 months. Some of my friends said that they would take me out for a drink when I was cleared for alcohol.

Although I am a little concerned. I used to be able to get drunk off one Cosmopolitan consumed with food. Now I think a thimble full would knock me out. I got my mother's alcohol tolerance, lol.
