Is drinking a bit of alcohol 15 days post op that bad? I know they say you get drunk a lot faster, so if I watch out for how much I drink is it okay to drink just a bit? Like maybe a small cup? Or is it not allowed

My surgeon says alcohol is not allowed at the 15 day mark. Your stomach is healing plus it's empty calories. Ask your doctor and your NUT

You're kidding, right?

No, alcohol is not okay to drink 15 days out.

Call your surgeon. He'll tell you.

Drinking alcohol 15 days post op is VERY dangerous. Alcohol is an irritant to the stomach,'so it might be painful. Your body may process a small quantity of alcohol, as if it was a very LARGE quantity after VSG. Please don't take the risk.

My dr said no drinks ever after surgery - u can be drunk after just 1 oz- let alone after surgery- why do that to yourself!?!?

[Slimsoon1988 123]

Are you asking us if it's ok to drink alcohol 15 days after you had major stomach surgery??!?

[bikrchk 1,313]

Oh dang! You're still healing! Skip the booze ate least until you're healed and your diet is fully advanced!

Why go through surgery just to go back to old habits?

[violetroyalty 25]

I don't think is a good idea, I'm also not going to be rude answering you, but ask your doctor when it will be ok to drink some alcohol. Usually is not until months after.

I can understand being young and still wanting to have a good time.

Just drink Water out of a whiskey glass like its vodka, no one will know the difference, except you.

My doctor advises to wait 1 year or until you've reached your goal weight. Alcohol hinders your weight loss. Honestly, I'm almost 2years out and I enjoy my wine but I'm 25 pounds away from my goal and I know it's because of the wine. I waited 13 months before I had my first sip. Let your pouch heal then go with what your doctor recommends.
