How soon after gallbladder removal can i have wine?

After: You have healed for several days, after you are eating well without nausea or pain, after you have stopped taking pain medications, & after approved by your surgeon.

A couple of weeks: Assuming you had an uneventful laparoscopic cholecystectomy, have resumed a normal diet, have no GI symptoms like anorexia or nausea, have no history of gastritis or liver disease, and are not taking any other new medications including narcotics, consult your surgeon during the post-op check, about a small amount of wine. If you tolerate this, like all good things, moderate the amount you drink.
