When can we ever have them again?

I always did I never stop using them even when told about air & crap Lolz

I've never stopped using them. I have used a straw since i was allowed to drink the day after surgery. Everyone is different. You can try and see if you have a issue or not.

If you find that using them gives you gas or causes excess belching, don't use them. I use them, for some reason it makes it easier for me to drink.

Were not supposed to use them I do once in a while no problems for me.

I used it once and that first sip I had pain and I took the straw and threw it away.

My book says we should avoid them because its harder to control your intake with them, doesn't mention air. I use them anyway. Not all the time, but I don't avoid them.

I drink faster than I should with or without them

My doctor used to tell people no drinking from a straw (like 2+ years ago) because of gas/air. They have since found that it doesn't really make a difference and they now allow them.

Yes u can

I was told not to because the air gets trapped in the stoma between your stomach and small intestine. They said over time, the air will stretch that out and will cause less and less restriction and eventual weight regain.

For once I'm following the teachers rules, no more straws for me.

Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX using RNYTalk

I had the lap band for two years prior to my revision a week ago to rny so I am already used to not using straws from that because it would cause pain with the band. Its not that big of a lifestyle change to just not use a straw.
