SouthernSleever 228 Posted November 20, 2012 Actually I blacked out, it was very scary. Im not sure what caused it but i was sipping on a vodka cranberry and i had eaten before that so Idk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mezanne1401 190 Posted November 20, 2012 I will just come out and say it bluntly. Do NOT drink the weekend before surgery. Just because this is an "elective" surgery doesn't mean it is any less risky. This is a very serious operation. Alcohol will thin your blood and dehydrate you, both of which are terrible right before surgery. You might as well take a pistol and play Russian roulette while in New Orleans. If you do decide to drink, I would think that it is pretty selfish to break the rules for a weekend of fun in NOLA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSleever 228 Posted November 20, 2012 Shoot i read you were preop. I dont see why you can't have a couple drinks before your surgery just make them low carb and dont do it a few days before surgery. It doesn't stay in yoru blood stream that long.
