Chevakia 0 Posted September 12, 2009 Ok so I have had a rough past few months and have started drinking soda like crack. Went to the dr today and he says that my stomach has stretched and possible band slip. I have to do liquids for the next week and he has placed me on a band fill diet, and he said it is possible that I may have to get the band removed. Has this happened to anyone? Please let me know, I'm praying that he was just trying to scare me and everything will be ok. PLEASE ANYONE....:wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RestlessMonkey 7 Posted September 12, 2009 I've heard of it; not from diet soda (although I was told that was one of the the big reasons we weren't supposed to have carbonation; pouch problems) but for other reasons. Stay away from that stuff and I hope you'll save your band! Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJMOMof2 17 Posted September 13, 2009 Just a clarification. Was it just the soda or did you have a rough time with eating too???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sofia Bell 0 Posted September 13, 2009 Question: You say you were dirnking soft drinks often, but how is that? Didn't it hurt going down? Did you burp often? I'll admit to having a diet soft drink every now and then; i let it go a little flat and then Water it down with ice. But even then, it doesn't seem worth it after all the chest discomfort and burping. It sounds to me like your doctor has been through this and has a plan to "fix" it through diet restrictions. Good luck and please keep us updated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
