I have not drank alcohol since having my band. But I don't drink very often. Maybe once every couple of years. And that may be pushing it. But remember alcohol has alot of empty calories in it. I would ask next time your in about alcohol. Jess

Hi Becky, I agree with Jess. Alcohol has a lot of empty calories and it turns right to fat. Plus it doesn't fill you. You don't absorb it any faster or slower than you did before surgery. Dr. Holloway will tell you the same thing I am telling you. A drink every now and then is okay but not on a regular basis. Mona
