a question for those who have had the wrap!

Hello All!
Happy holidays to you all and i hope everyone enjoyed the festive period (or those who celebrate it! :) )

I am now just past 3 weeks post op and am still occasionally burping up liquid and gas. I haven't experienced any heartburn as such but had a mild burning on christmas day that went once i had a drink of water....i did overindulge a tad! is this still normal after 3 weeks? im a tad worried that maybe the wrap has failed?

my second question is i have been invited out for a drink today with friends, and have read on here some people can tolerate beer before fizzy drinks?! i enjoy a beer and was wondering if it would be too early to try this? anyone have any suggestion? if i should avoid it i will as when i have been out the other day i had vodka with orange juice and had no trouble.

thanks a lot.

I am 5 weeks out and am back to a normal diet. Beer, coffee, wine, etc. are all back on the menu. I am lucky, I believe, as not everyone can do this as quickly as I did.

From what I have gathered, food decisions are very subjective with a ton of variation from individual-to-individual. You will need to try things in small quantities and see how you tolerate them. You might be lucky like me and be able to tolerate nearly anything relatively early, or you might struggle with some specific food items. Not always fun, but you will just have to try (in moderation) and see what happens... assuming the doc is OK with it, of course.

Watch out for on tap beer. It has a lot more carbonation that the bottled or cans of beer.

Take care,
