Ok, so my friend is having surgery in the morning, and tonight we had a Christmas party, at which she ate a small piece of whiskey pie. Ok, so the pie has 3 tablespoons of whiskey in it and the alcohol isn't cooked out, and she ate it around 7:45. Is that going to cause any problems? I figure it's not a big deal but I just thought I'd check.

She should be fine. Usually with surgery they tell you not to eat anything after midnight. That small amount of alcohol would burn out of her system long before midnight, especially if she was eating/drinking other things. She should be fine, but if she has any doubts or questions she should tell her doctor or one of the admitting nurses.

I wouldn't be worrying as much about the alcohol content but more about what kind of surgery and if she isn't suppose to be eating anything. Will she potentially vomit? I would ask the doctor and the anesthesiologist.

an infection is often obtainable with any surgical operation yet your brother has been given training on what to observe for - fever, increasing redness around the surgical web page, heat temperature around the area or swelling. those oftentimes take place interior a pair of weeks of the surgical operation and after that, his healing could desire to pass easily. He in all probability could have a lifting limit for greater or less 6 weeks after the surgical operation, different than that, he could desire to have not any regulations. restoration time averages approximately 6 weeks yet, reckoning on a guy or woman's underlying wellness, may well be quicker or slower.

Well if her surgery is is in the morning she should be fine . they usually tell you not to eat or drink anything after 9pm or 12am . you cant have any in your system that will make you purge during surgery. but if they asked to her fast it might mess with your her blood sugar . i wouldnt worry i would just tell her ask the nurse before they put her under

they say nothing for 12 hours before surgery but a tiny piece of cake should not hurt anything uless your friend s a light weight and the "booze" affects her that much that the surgery has to be postponed

What were the instructions? Don't worry about the alcohol, she'll be fine. Just don't eat past the time that was recommended by the doctor.
