Tiny1234 121 Posted April 5, 2013 I have to agree with catfish. I was re-reading my band info and it mentions that food only stays in the pouch a few minutes before making its way through the band. It doesn't store or breakdown food there. That's what the acids in your stomach do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miznikkie08 23 Posted April 5, 2013 I guess my thought is why take the chance? I'll wait a few moments after to take a drink but I won't drink while I'm eating. I say that because I have a history of packing away the liquids while eating so to me its like a gateway drug back into my old ways. If your doc says small sips then of course you can everyone is different good luck everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
