Do patients experience a heightened sensitivity to alcohol following Lap-Band ® System surgery?

No, unlike gastric bypass surgery, there is no stomach cutting, stapling or intestinal rerouting involved with the Lap Band System, therefore absorption of alcohol is not affected. Following their surgery, we counsel our patients regarding appropriate lifestyle and diet choices, including the consumption of alcohol.
