Have some, see how it sits on your tummy (if your doc allows carbonation at this period). Mine said no carbonation until four months so I had champagne at 4 months and about 32 seconds For me champagne is fine but the larger bubbles in soda's are not comfortable. We'll see how I feel when gin and tonic weather comes around....I can't afford to drink champagne all summer LOL

Thank you for telling me I will wait until at least 4 months I don't drink alcohol so water is all I'm having but u get your drink on for me. Lol

Kaiser recommends giving up carbonation for life because it stretches out your stomach. I agree! I didn't have 85% of mine cut out just so I could stretch it all out again! Not being judgmental of anyone but myself! =)

At 6 weeks I've had soda a time or two and some champagne. It didn't really have an adverse effect but I discovered that the carbonation sticks around a while in my stomach. Then when its time to eat something I can only eat 2 bites. One day it took me almost all day to drink a medium soda from Sonic. Couldn't eat a darn thing because of it. Some people don't have a problem at all.

I was told no carbonation for life. Luckily I have never been a big soda drinker so not a big deal. I do feel sorry for all of you who love your pop!

What amazes me is all the different information we get from our individual surgeons. Very confusing!!!

Most doctors suggest no carbonated drinks for life. 1 because there are chances of the staple lines getting affected, 2 coz the gas is going to take up all the space in your tiny stomach and 3 because its just very bad. I was addicted to coke Pepsi.. Everything! And in a way I'm happy I had to give it up because let's face it- it's bad for all of us. Sleeve or no sleeve

I have given up soda for the past 1 1/2 years. It is a huge trigger and not worth it!

I have a soda stream and lightly carbonate my water no issues here

Once your staple line has healed, carbonation will have no effect on it.
