Asked By:QOTSA in Galway

Im going to a concert 12 days after gyno surgery on one side. No lipo, just removal of the gland. my surgeon said there was no need to wear a compression vest due to the minor nature and success of the surgery. I was hoping to have a few beers (not a huge drinker anyway so no shots) and maybe a joint or two at the concert but do not want to if it will be very detrimental to my recovery. I Will have stitches removed one week after surgery wanted to ask peoples opinion before I do anything.
