Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 , I am with you on the caffeine thing. I was at the Hollywood seminar a year ago in April and Dr. R. was asked about the caffeine issue. The reason we need to stop consuming it two weeks before surgery is because it inhibits the healing of tissue. And that we should also not consume it for about six months until our tummies are fully healed. Other than that, caffeine doesn't harm our stomachs. It is only a stimulant. I'm almost four months out and have had it only a couple of times and have had not trouble with upset, gas or anything else. Hopes this helps. in Phoenix Dr. Hargroder 02/19/04 261/215/120 5'2 " caffeine-- manual what page does it state that post ops should not drink caffeine.... i was under the impression it was carbonated beverages and beverages containing tannic acid. i need this as a reference-- i have not restricted caffeine,only carbonation and tannic acids, but if i NEED to - i will! can anyone enlighten me? xoxoxo cathy s in va---- an old dog learning new tricks........
