How long can it take someone that did umbilical harnia surgery before he can start drinking alcohol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you had general anesthesia the usual rule is to abstain from alcohol for 48 hours. Otherwise I'd wait until you have no further postop pain and are not taking any pain meds or sleep aids.
