I am wondering hoe alcohol is tolerated after the la band surgery. I'm not a lush but I do enjoy going out and have drinks with friends. I know that alcohol has many empty calories but other than that ha anyone had any complications with alcohol and the lapband?

I get drunk WAY faster... I think the alchol is absorbed faster into the system now. Two drinks and I'm out like a light.

Not good to drink a lot though, because mixed drinks have a lot of cals.
