Thanks again everyone from their insight! In doing a little more research on the internet...seems there is basically a negative impact on wieght loss overall involving diet soda...lap band or not. Also, seems there is a average consensus on wating 3 months... seems you are doing great Kim with your weight loss and the one a day has done no harm! Congrats to you!!

To add another Dr's opinion to the discussion.... Mr Dr says that the carbonation will expand and contract the stomach. When the gas enters it expands then when it leaves it contracts. If you do that enough over time(several times a day or even once a day) the band can slip or break away from the stitches. SO he refuses to endorse any sort of carbonitated drinks. HOWEVER.... he is fine with flat soda. I havent tried it yet and dont think I will.

I was a diet coke addict.... and i basically quit cold turkey and as much as I miss the taste and the caffine... I figure its just another step toward my good health!
