Everything been going fine except recently. The middle of my tummy tuck it started spitting a suture, dr cleaned it out cut out what needed to be cut out and told me to pack the hole with gauze 2x day until it heals on it own which he estimated about 3wks my question is with it open like that again would it be ok to drink for New Years or will it slow down healing process? I don't want to do anything that will affect my final results when it heals will there be a hole or will it seal shut?
