At one month post op, you should have none!  Just sayin'.  It's a bad thing for a healing tummy, besides the fact that it's empty calories.

I waited until 6 months post op to have alcohol.

 You really should wait a few months before you start drinking. And the first time you drink you should do it at home because you don't know how it will affect you.

I agree.. your stomach isn't even done healing til about 6 weeks out. We were told after 6 months as well.

Hi: Sharon,  Bad idea, NO Alcohol. 
                     Alcohol has sugar, you could start dumping.

A word to the wise!!!!!!!!!!

It depends on the alcohol - some don't have many carbs, like wine.

Also, it's rare for sugar to cause dumping in a VSG - possible, but rare.  Much more likely with an RNY.

I had one glass one wine at 3 months out,just before Christmas. It didn't sit well. The alcohol felt like it burned my sensitive stomach. Just fair warning.
