how long before op can you not drink for? (BA and lift)

as above x

I want to know this as I’m booked in for lift and ba! I think it might be nothing for two weeks before and two weeks after? Xx

not sure for a lift but for the ba the “recommend” two week pre and post but only insist on no drinking 48 hours prior and post surgery.

yep 48 hours – but i had sneaky couple of Stellas 36 hours before xx oooops

Im no alcoholic or anything but im only 4 days post op and im dying for a drink already! booo xxx

I wouldnt recommend drinking post op while your still taking anti-biotics and pain killers though xx

No I did not drink until my 7 day check then went straight for a pint when i got out of the clinic xxx

Yeah really don’t drink while still on the codeine, would not be good!!

Yeah I agree, a nice cold kopperburg would go down a treat in this weather tho!! :p, I’ll wait till iv finished my antibiotics as I’m not on codiene or taking any pain releif and Iv stopped taking the diclofenac its made me really sick and sore stomach xx

fab. thanks girlsss ! x

The sugar content can also predispose you to infection when your wounds are fresh too as bacteria love an environment that is warm and wet, add sugar into the mix and its heaven for them. The area where your scars are is likely to be warm and damp at times so you dont want to make it worse by eating or drinking high sugar things cos it will raise the sugar levels in your blood and make you very appealing to the nasty bugs!!!
