Hello everyone and what a great site this is.

Had my sleeve done last Monday over here in England.

Feel really good and not in any real pain so consider myself quite lucky.

The question I have is for the veteran sleeved, when did they first have a drink of alcohol and what was it.

Liked the socialising aspect of drinking before my op and just wondered if it's possible to still drink in moderation after the operation.

Thanks.

Welcome, and congrats getting to the looser bench. What does your plan say wbout consuming alcohol after surgery? I ask because over here, in the US, there are as many pre and post op plans as there are doctors preforming the surgery. My surgeon wants no alcohol for the first six months, if you feel you have to have it. After that I was told to proceed with extreme caution, because I am a few times a year wine drinker. She stared I would feel the effects very quickly. Best.

Thanks for the reply.

It never got mentioned on my post op plan and I forgot to ask.

I will ask on my follow up appointment.

      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.
