My dr says no carbonated drinks either, but he says it because it will make your stomach stretch and cause the band to slip. I'm started to feel like there really isn't any scientific proof to the whole carbonated thing because so many dr's say different things; however, I don't plan on going back to them just because I have been able to quit them, so why go back.
I have a questions about it causing band erosion and I'm asking this because I honestly don't understand...or maybe I just don't understand fully how my band works...but anyway...If the band is on the outside of the stomach, then how does acid from carbonated beverages, which is on the inside of the stomach, affect it.
