A member asked:

Can you drink alcohol a week after gallbladder surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

In moderation: Small amounts of alcohol is probably alright as long as you do not have an underlying liver disease or jaundice. Please do not mix pain pills and alcohol either. Don't over-do the alcohol & risk an injury to yourself while still healing from the surgery.
