Cat D 12 Posted September 1, 2012 My doctor from Memphis TN (Wegner) said no caffeine ever after surgery. It can cause ulcers. Your stomach is more sensitive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaBelle509 326 Posted September 1, 2012 I was told the same. Acid reflux seems to be a harsh side effect of the sleeve. And coffee just brings is out for some people. I do not want to chance it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesHRN 114 Posted September 1, 2012 I am able to have coffee and tea during the clear liquid phase it needed to be without Creamer but you should be taking meds for the acid reflux already and you can get it over the counter if the Dr doesn't give you a prescription Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nate 292 Posted September 1, 2012 I was told Coffer and Tea were fine once full liquids were started as long as it was Decaf.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lessofmeismore 1,405 Posted September 1, 2012 There are many different opinions on coffee here. I would ask my Dr/Nut and follow their plan. That being said, I believe coffee can cause stomache issues and the caffiene can cause dehydration. Some people drink coffee later with no problems some say they are unable to tolerate. Your best bet is to follow your drs plan.. I'm 4 months and I love coffee but I make it half decaf/half reg. Sometimes it upsets my stomache, sometimes I get away with feeling ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
