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

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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
