Can Alcohol damage your sleeve?
So I am almost 3 years post op and I never drink. By never I truly mean I've had maybe 1/2 a glass of wine since my surgery. Until this weekend. I went to a bachelorette party and had shots. 4 in total over the course of 3 hours. I was of course drunk and horribly hung over the next day. I was unable to throw up (not sure why) and two days later my stomach still hurts really bad. I am still nauseated and nothing tastes right. I am wondering if I could have damage my stomach or if I'm just still sick since I don't drink. I am worried because it seems I shouldn't still hurt and be sick two days later but any Experiences and knowledge you can pass on would be greasy. Thanks!
For some reason this got posted on the Arthritis Forum, I am not sure if that is what you meant. You might get more of a response on the VSG forum. that being said, I've never heard it said alcohol could actually damage anything, esp in such a short amount of time. WLS patients do metabolize things differently.... Hope you are feeling better. Lesson learned right? 4 shots is too many . Good Luck.
