A member asked:
Can you drink alcohol with a lap band?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: A lap band will restrict the volume of food you can eat, resulting in feeling full with less food. Liquid calories in the form of alcohol, shakes, lattes, etc can easily offset the decreased caloric intake and minimize weight loss.
