Adult beverages? Alcohol? Drinks?



Recommended Posts

I have heard after you get your new tummy that you don't need much to feel a buzz.

I am curious what ha been your limit? What did you drink?

I'm 6 weeks Post op and would love a glass of wine.

Don't judge me please, we're all adults lol

I've been very good with holding down food and getting liquids in. I've never had any issues.

Thank you!

My NUT just told me that she doesn't want me having any alcohol until 6 months out, so I don't have a good answer to your question yet :(

I'm four months post-op. At three months I had some wine. Felt like I got buzzed more quickly than in the past, but it wasn't a huge difference. I drank slowly and it was enjoyable.

Thanks for asking this, I was curious as well. I'm just shy of 4 weeks post op and I'm not ready to drink yet but was wondering.

This is most definitely something you should ask your surgeon and not a bunch of strangers on the internet. There are very good reasons not to be drinking alcohol that have nothing to do with the calories. A blood thinning barbiturate is not the best thing for someone who just had surgery on their digestive system. A bleed or death is not unheard of because of alcohol consumption.

After you hit 6 months or a year, you'll have the rest of your life to drink. Is it really worth it to have a drink now?

      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?
