megankc93 16 Posted March 5, 2014 Hello I was just banded on Monday March 3rd and my 21st birthday is on March 20th.. So is this too soon to have a first drink of alcohol if not what would you recommend I drink? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeeB1946 261 Posted March 5, 2014 I was told no alcohol for 3 months. Then when I did drink I had 3 sips of a gin and tonic and was full. I have had a total of 2.5 drinks in the past year. Don't drink fast and watch out as it hits harder and faster with the band than without. Happy birthday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terrydumont46 1,954 Posted March 5, 2014 most doctors will say no to alcohol. I have to advise you to ask your doctor if you can have at least one drink for your 21st. I would recommend whatever drink you want but one that doesn't have carbonation. happy birthday to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
