Hello,
Thanks for you question. Sorry to hear the lap band has not worked for you long term. I hope you feel confident in your care plan. As for drinking alcohol after removal, there are generally no restrictions on alcohol consumption after removal.
Best wishes,
Dr. Moein

If your LapBAND is out and your recovery uneventful, you can drink alcohol.  What type?  The kind you like the best.I would be curios to know why you had the band removed (and not replaced with another operation); as you will most likely regain any weight that you lost.
