When Is It Okay For Me To Drink Alcohol After Surgery For Ruptured Artery In Stomach?
Hello. My name is Heather. I had surgery on Sept. 9. I had an artery in my stomach area rupture. They fixed it. I am wondering when it is ok for me to be able to drink alcohol? I am moving around very well now. I have some discomfort, but it s normal.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
That artery rupture was due to peptic ulcer in your stomach which had eroded the artery wall...and alcohol intake is one of the most common cause of peptic ulcer disease...so if you want to have a replay of those events...you can start alcohol consumption again....coz the earlier you start it, the earlier you can have the replay...and in life replays are more tragic...
