alyce20 82 Posted September 21, 2014 Can I hear from anyone using a straw with no ill side effects? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amazon 579 Posted September 21, 2014 Straws are fine. Just don't drink fast. If you can "sip" using a straw, no issue. Note that this is per my bariatric team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherrie1957 27 Posted September 21, 2014 When I went for my two week nut class they said that straws were fine from here on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forsythia 882 Posted September 21, 2014 Used one in the hospital from day one. Never had issues with them. My water bottle has a straw in it. I drink from it every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
es1120 141 Posted September 21, 2014 The only thing i've ever heard about a straw is that you can take in too much air. I never used a straw after my lap band but I have with my sleeve - no troubles either time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alexsisv 139 Posted September 22, 2014 No problem with straws here. Small Sips and I don't have as many air bubbles rise up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
