Can you drink wine after your BR surgery?

Thank you for your question.  Immediately after surgery I would avoid any alcohol, as you will likely be feeling the effects of anesthesia and pain medications.  Alcohol can also impair your blood's ability to thicken and create clots, which will increase your bleeding risk, and the possible development of a hematoma.  Best to hold off on any wine until your physician clears it.  Hope that this helps.  

Best not to mix alcohol with pain medication, but once you are off of narcotics drinking some wine in moderation would be fine.
