lambi Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hey Everyone, Just wanna hear some opinions on consuming alcohol ( red wine mainly). I usually have a glass or two of red but I'm a bit unsure if i can still do that...my BA is on thursday and it says nothing on all of my before hand instruction about not consuming any alcohol. I have been really cautious about not drinking any especially cos its coming up but a few of my friends who have had their breasts done think its ok and said that they had a few drinks in the coming weeks to their BA...just no medications. What are your thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab1990 Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I wouldn't risk it. Is a few glasses really worth it if anything went wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettybee Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Good question, maybe one for your surgeon but I didn't ask mine - oops. I had a beer here or there coming up to the operation nothing the night before though, but it's something I assumed was okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donatella Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Red wine is the worst and a definite no no as it's a blood thinner. Stick to white if you must absolutely no red so close to surgery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolos Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I think my pre op instructions said no alcohol from 48 hours before surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagittarius Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi =) I'm a nurse and i would recommend avoiding all alcohol for 48 hours before surgery and at least 3 days after surgery as you may develop a nasty haemotoma at the surgery site which may affect your ultimate outcome and present a variety of adverse effects. Good Luck LaydeeTJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
