Lap band: Can you drink alcohol beverages?

Question

Wiljon W. Beltre, MD · Answer

Yes you still can drink alcohol after the gastric band.  However, like everything else, you have to do it with caution.  Having a glass of wine with your dinner is ok, but no more than that.  alcohol is liquid calories, if you are serious about losing weight you should consume very little of it.

There is no prohibition against drinking alcohol. Just remember - it has calories too- and you might be a bit more tipsy because you won't have enough food in your stomach to absorb it.
