Oh man, I feel you but be careful. I am scared to try anything with bubbles.

The carbonation may or may not lead to stretching of the stomach - it is hotly debated. But even if there is a 1% chance it isn't worth it to me. I think this sounds kind of preachy - so feel free to ignore it. But my other thought is that beer just doesn't have nutrition, it has empty calories, and plenty of carbs. Is there anything else that might do as a small treat that is more in keeping with your nutritional goals?

I'm an equal opportunity alcohol consumer..I plan on switching to wine or liquors, in moderation, of course! ;)

I was sleeved 30th July, I have drunk beer for the last month or so, I just pour it into a glass and give it a stir, takes some bubbles out and makes it alot easier to drink, also drink wine n vodka all is fine

i had a beer at about 4 months and it was fine. i've tried liquor and wine since, but oddly, i find that beer agrees with my sleeve more than the others. my beer choices have changed, and i don't do super hoppy beers anymore, and i do let them sit for a minute to reduce the bubbles, but i haven't had any troubles with an occassional beer or two.

I'm 14 months out and carbonation has not stretched my sleeve. I have 2 sparkling waters everyday and 3-4 beers a week. I have no troubles, make goal in less than 9 months and I am easily maintaining now.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
