Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 I know that this is commonly accepted . . . but our stomachs have no pylorus valve at the bottom . . . our stoma is open. Also, we *burp* at the top of our stomachs. We are not a closed system. The balloon thing is a closed system. Some people believe that we'll explode . . . won't happen. All that aside . . . gas hurts, especially as a newbie post-op. Stay away from the soda for a while. Even at 11 months, I prefer my soda on the flat side. (Fountain drinks, over lots of ice, etc.) Subject: drinking soda.... Try this little test: Take a small water balloon and pour about 3-4 oz. of soda into it. Tie it off and watch while you move it around just a little. Now think to yourself..... do I want this to happen to my new tummy? Hawkridge in Washington State.
