Has anyone had gastric sleeve surgery? If so were you able to drink beer ever again?
Yeah mate I'm sure I could, it's more to do with some people can never drink beer again after this type of surgery and some can. It was a long shot, but wanted to see if any of our brewers had experience or knew of anyone who had.mje1980 said:Surely if you needed that, you could give the beers away for a while until you were fully recovered? Surely?
I did, everyone reacts differently, just wanted to see if any of our brewers had experience or knew of anyone who had.sponge said:Did you ask your GP?
Thanks mate, I have pretty much already given the beer away in preparation. I am realising that I am going to have to find a new hobby, or maybe brew for friends every now and then. I guess giving up brewing and drinking beer is a nothing if it means getting healthy and not dying young.dicko said:The only people I know that have had it are women, one of them being one of my daughters.
When I was visiting her in hospital after the op I was talking to a male nurse and he said that you can drink afterwards but you may get pissed fairly quickly.
My daughter has a beer now and then without any ill affect that we know of but she was never a regular drinker anyway.
On a side note the other benefits of having the op are a great improvement in life generally but you still have to be cautious of what you are eating and I guess drinking.
When she was dieting before the op I went on the diet with her and lost heaps of weight so I was ahead as well.
I dont think that any doctor who is performing that operation is going to give anyone the OK to just go out and get on the booze as the booze is probably a contributing factor in needing the procedure in the first place.
The other woman that I know that had it done is a young girl in her late twenties maybe early thirties and she decided not to change her lifestyle and she has now wasted her time as she is no better off than before the op. I bet her doctor is not all that happy with her. I dont see her anymore as she was a relative of an ex employee of mine.
Good luck if you are having it Amber Man.

Sometimes losing weight is not so simple, obesity is a big problem in western society, the doctors see the results of obesity on a daily basis and I can understand why they may recomend this procedure to select people.wide eyed and legless said:When diagnosed with stomach cancer, the idea of the oncologist and surgeon was to shrink the tumour and remove the whole stomach, which to me was an extremely daunting thought, read as much as I could on stomach removal and didn't feel any better about it, but on reading the information was surprised to read that many women have this procedure done simply to lose weight.
