13.01.2022 Its not uncommon for patients to ask whether they are allowed to have alcohol after bariatric surgery. I usually tell them yes, you can. However, the effect alcohol has on the human body is magnified after bariatric surgery.

So you may think eating less to allow space for an alcoholic beverage, it tends to get absorbed more quickly. The maximum blood alcohol level is higher than pre-bariatric surgery, achieved faster and also takes longer to return to normal.

Also know as hypoglycaemia you may feel faint, get sweaty, nauseated or become irritable and anxious not the way most people want to feel when trying to have a good time! The alcohol causes dehydration by making your kidney reabsorb less water. Most alcoholic beverages have a high calorie and low nutrient content. That is not going to be great for your weight loss journey. So you may get twice as drunk with half your normal amount in half the time. It could only take 1 drink
