I have a mutual friend with a lady that had lapband last year and I see her out quite a bit. She says you just have to alternate Water with the alcohol and make sure you don't drink on an empty stomach. Alcohol isn't a huge loss to me, but I am a big friend type person and can't totaly miss out on all of that! I plan to still go out and just make better food choices. Thanks everyone for the input!

So I'm having my lap band done pretty soon. I'm pretty social and enjoy going out with my friends all of the time. THey always want to go to nice places to eat and drink, but I'm afraid I won't be able to go with them anymore. How have you guys dealt with this issue? Has it changed your lives to that degree?
