Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 My surgeon told me that the acid and corbonation would potentially stretch the pouch. Also, one significant difference in our small pouch and regular stomach is that the pouch has no stomach acids so no digestion/breakdown of food takes place in the pouch.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Hi Since after surgery the stomach is nothing but a very small pouch anything like that would disrupt the lining and possibly cause ulcers to form and who wants that. In a normal stomach soda and other carbonated drinks can do the same thing if you are sensitive. Have you ever put a penny or a quarter into a glass of Pepsi or Coke or a piece of meat into these beverages do it and leave it for abut 3 hours or overnight and you will see the damaged it does to these materials. My dad did these types of experiments for me and I was shocked to see the results so yes with an even smaller space these types of beverages have the capability to do great damage. Did you go through all the pain of surgery I mean think about it wls is very drastic no matter what the procedure would you risk your health for a glass of soda believe me Coke or Pepsi or whatever is not worth the risk. Your body is all you have until they either burn you or place you in the ground take care of it as best as you can and if something is harmful then stop using it. There are non carbonated beverages that taste just as great nowadays experiment with things that you can have and that are not detrimental to you.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 You must go see the psychiatrist in order to be cleared mentally. They want to be sure that you are suffering from major depression, suicidal or what not and that you have really thought about this before allowing you to go any further. Good luck! :-) question I would like to know if any body out there had to go to a psychiatrist before they had wls? The Bariatris treatment center that I went to sent me a lettler saying I had to do that before my insurance would even conister it. I also have to have blood work done which I'm doing next week. This is going to be a long road a head of me. But, I have to do this before my health gets bad. I also have to get in order all the diets I have been on. With a Dr. I have to have there letter head on the paper. That could be tough. I never really followed up with a diet with a Dr. I was on diet pills twice but never had to keep going to the Dr. For that. I guess I will have to go see my regular Dr. I want to see what he thinks of this wls. I hope to hear from someone soon.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 yes, the vast majority of candidates need a psych eval. this protects the insurance, the surgeon, & the patient. you're right, there's a lot of ducks to put in a row, but it's worth it. lori h. > I would like to know if any body out there had to go to a psychiatrist > before they had wls?
