Alcohol?

I know they recommend not drinking 2 weeks prior to the op but has anyone drank the week before etc? I’ve my op on Friday and after a long nightmare of a day I could just have a glass of wine tonight and chill out completely? Xx

It’s up to you I guess and the risk you want to take, I’ve got a hen do on the Friday and Saturday night before my op on the Monday I’m going to be drinking but I’m going to stop drinking at midnight on the Saturday that gives my body just over 30 hours to work it’s magic! Im definatley not going to be drinking heavily though!

I got quite drunk 3 days before my op and I was ok. Saying that I went to my 2 week post op appointment and I had to have another dressing as one of my incisions wasn’t healing properly… I haven’t touched a drop since so the heavy boozing before may have had something to do with the delayed healing but may not have?

I was told not to drink two weeks before or two weeks after. Alcohol thins the blood which is risky when healing
