i started my preop at the end of may and didn't drink anything again until about october...when I turned 21 and pretty much HAD to haha. I can't really do beer any more. I do well with wine and girly drinks like parrot bay's mixed bottles. I played a couple games of beer pong a few weeks ago and got sick. I used to be able to drink a lot, but now I can only have a few..not because I get drunk, but because I'll be really nauseated in the morning. I don't know if anyone else has problems with drinking. My dietition said its ok to drink occasionally, but to stick to thing with lower calories. wine has low calories. margarita and beer has a lot of calories in it.

how was your restriction afterward?

I got my lap band on June 15, 2008. I had my first fill a month after my surgery. I went in Friday for my second fill and found out that my port is no longer attached to my abdominal wall. My doctor told me that I would have to go into the hospital over my winter break and get it fixed. He said what he will do is attach it to mesh and then attach the mesh to my muscle or something so that it won't move again. It was really uncomfortable during my fill under floro because I could feel it moving against my ribs and sometimes I feel it when I lay on my stomach. I was really nervous to get another fill because a week after my first one i started being nauseated all the time and struggling with anxiety, but I think that was because of going back to school and not the fill, but I associated it with the lapband so it's been a struggle to deal with that.

I'm in college in my junior year. 21 years old and would love to see a group for other college people!
