Can soda cause a leak?

That depends on who you ask. My surgeon has told me there is nothing that is off limits. It is about portion control. I am almost 8 months out and dont drink soda. I did have a small glass of champagne and did not have any problems.

Yes I believe so. But from reading your posts, I cannot urge you enough to please, for the sake of your life and your health, please stick to your doctor's diet closely and don't take chances.

I say this out of caring, and will add that you might benefit from talking to a counselor who may be able to help you with some of your post op struggles.

I think the OP is only 2-3 weeks post op if I'm not mistaken.

If you are only 2-3 weeks post op I would think that would be pretty abrasive on your healing tummy. Its pretty acidic?

at least wait till teh 6 week s mark if your going to try that.

Yes the op is only a week out

And seems to be struggling by the posts that Ive been reading.

To the op. please seek some help. I would strongly suggest you put a call into your surgeon and explain the difficulties you have been having.

And as the others have said soda this early out could definitely be dangerous.

My doctor says carbonated beverages, drinking from a straw, will stretch the stomach. Too much air
