Can anybody confirm whether you are allowed to consume any alcohol ever again if you have a gastric bypass please, as my friends are telling me you can't?

I been having alcohol since 3 months. It's not an everyday thing. I was not advice not to drink. I do know alcohol hits me hard now after surgery but everything is small amount is good. If you read my fitness pal I got drink kept drinking & had half a bottle lmbo. Felt fine next day but wouldn't recommend to drink that much. Was celebrating how I made 6 months since WLS.

I had wine about 3 monts post op. The alcohol does not effect me any different post op. Just remember alochol is a empy calorie and moderation is key. I have a couple of wines during the week, I am 9 months post op and have no problems drinking alcohol what so ever.

You can eventually have alcohol but I recommend reading a new report from UPMC hospital out if Pittsburgh.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
