I really like Kumbucha and was thinking about getting into making it. Is there anyone that drinks it here? I know it has some carbonation and sugar so I wasn't sure if it was a no no.

Thanks

Your surgery date is 9/15/19, Pre-op Right? Is carbonation and sugar on your dietician’s plan?

Because I had a sleeve before they are not having me meet with a nutritionist, even though I never meet with one for my previous surgery. I have yet to have my first appointment with the surgeon other than my EGD. So I got my answer thanks!

depends on your plan - and your stomach. I don't think you'll find any surgeon who'll approve of carbonated beverages during the first few months post-op since it'd be too hard on your healing insides. After that, some surgeons seem to be OK with it, others ban it for life. I tried drinking carbonated drinks when I was a couple of years post-op, but it's too hard on my stomach, so I stopped. Some people's stomachs seem to be OK with it, though. Regardless, you'll have to give it up for at minimum the first several months after surgery - and maybe for life if your surgeon and/or stomach say so.

Catwoman7,

Thanks, I am just going to plan to not have it anymore. I don't want to chance harming myself. Everything is so different than when I was sleeved :)

Have a good day!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
