Would like to verify the caffeine rumor


Recommended Posts

:unsure:

Hi! I am grateful for this forum ! I am to be banded April 9th, and this

forum has been a great source of good, funny, (sometimes scary!) info!

Is it true that I cannot have coffee for 3 months ? I'm willing to give up

food, but coffee ?? Thats just brutal. Just looking for some verification.

Thanks again - this is a huge decision for me - one I have agonized with,

but at the end of the day, I'm so excited! I can't wait!! Thanks again--

Lisa,

From personal experience I was not smart before my first fill and drank some Starbucks about 4 hours before the fill. When Dr. Romero executed the fill my restriction was much stronger than expected in fact I was having a hard time sipping water. After a few hours the caffeine wore off and my restriction was less than expected. So you can bet on my second fill I stayed away from the Starbucks and was able to take a much larger fill which has stayed with me as opposed to dropping off within hours and even more during the following days. Just one Starbucks Addict who learned his lesson the hard way.

Can't address the 3 month rule as thats a new one on me. Best wishes on a successful procedure! Kevin

Coffee is fine, and is on the list of things you can have on clear liquids. After some trouble with a fill, Dr. Martinez told me that espresso in the morning can cause problems, but coffee is still fine. He was right, coffee is fine, but the espresso made me have some issues. But espresso later in the day is great!!

Dr. Miranda tells patients to not give up caffeine after being banded. She explained to me that the effects of caffeine are less problematic than the headaches of withdrawl.

I had surgery in 09-06, never missed a cup of coffee; they even gave me coffee in the hospital the next day after my surgery. Coffee is fine, no expresso, I think.
