You prolly should consult your Dr cause everyones Dr have different opinions about drinking you might have different answers when ppl respond some ppl say their doc say never some say three months or even six months that's why I say ask your doc good luck on getting the info

Search the threads there is heaps of questions relating to this topic. I personally waited 7 weeks (I was told 2 months - but hey it was xmas and close enough). Went down very slowly but fine.

They recommend no alcohol for a year, at least my Dr. does. Don't bother me though, I was never a big drinker.

1 year for me. I am sticking to it. There's nothing that I can drink or put in my mouth that means more to me that hitting my goal and being healthy.

Went to my 6 wk appt this week. My doc said I have no restrictions. Stay away from soft drinks bec they are bad for you. Beer is fine just remember it is empty calories. The carbonation may make you feel gassy but it isn't going to hurt you.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
