I asked my surgeon this question on Friday and he said no soda or beer unless you're willing to drink it flat. He said he doesn't know too many people who like flat sodas or beer so it's best to never drink them. I know everyone is different but I'd rather not find out if will stretch or not lol. Based on the research I did and my surgeon, I will not drink sodas or any carbonated drink. It's not worth the risk to mess up something so wonderful as the sleeve.

I dunno how old you are but I'm 33...I opted for the gastric sleeve. Don't be nervous about support groups...everyone in the group is there for the same reason as you...and you don't have to worry about judgement because we're all in this together. You'd be surprised at the amount of young people who had WLS... think of other as a way to be a healthier and happier you. ????

I had my 1st appt on yesterday. The surgeon answered all my questions and gave me a list of things I have to do. We're trying to do the 3 month approval. I have to schedule my NUT appt, get a chest X-ray, pulmonary function test, and EKG. I also need a psych evaluation and once everything has been done the surgeon will submit everything to my insurance. I'm hoping to have the surgery by October. Good luck to you!

I wouldn't drink anything that is carbonated. It will stretch out your sleeve
