Drinking before surgery?

[briae13 46]

Anyone know a guesstimate for how long before surgery you should stop drinking alcohol? Guesstimating surgery in February but tis the season and I enjoy some booze during the holidays, just don't want to ruin my plans for surgery in the process lol

I think that question would be best answered by your surgeon or Nut.

I get that, and definitely plan to, but I'm asking for a guesstimate. Just advice from others.

2-4 weeks.

If youre really big by bariatric patient standards, id probably aim for 4-5 weeks since youre gonna have a large liver to begin with.
