Alcohol post op - is it allowed?



Recommended Posts

I've just seen something about no alcohol for 3 months after surgery. Is this true?

The rules are different depending on your doctor.

If you don't drink any for 3 months.......then it's true. :P It appears everything just sorta depends on your tolerance for it. Some can, some can't. Some docs allow it, some don't. With alcohol, I believe there is typically more concern about sliding into an alcohol addiction, as a substitute for food addictions.

Some surgeons will state you should not drink any alcohol as it is empty calories. My surgeon states this but as I dont drink it never bothered me.
