Communion after bypass

[dreamofbeingslim]

I was just wondering, if their are any Catholics that have had a bypass, could you tell me whether you can receive Communion afterwards.

I would think the only issue is the wine, and it may be best to wait untill your told you are allowed it (i was never told, but when i asked the dietician, she said 3 months was fine)

I was ok from about 6 weeks, I have the wine as well, this also makes sure the bread doesn't get stuck. It is up to yourself how you feel and when you think you are ready to receive it. My priest was aware of why I could not receive and was fine about it x x

In the early days I have to admit I kept the bread in my mouth a long time and was petrifed about swallowing it, but I washed it down with some water and it was fine. Be careful with the wine tho, I think ours in port. It made me lightheaded! Now it's about the perfect amount for me

Thanks everyone. My priest knows I am going to have the op so will be very understanding.

I have been fine, just make sure you chew the bread well. We have grape juice at ours
