My surgeon doesn't allow gum for that very reason. It could obstruct the outlet and that would mean surgery or scoping to remove it. You are only a few weeks out. If you don't have much restriction, you might be okay.

I would call the surgeon and ask.

I have heard alot of people who "aren't allowed" to chew gum on here. I gues my Dr is just super liberal. I chew gum alot and have swallowed it without problem. I have great restriction with 7cc in my band. I think if you haven't noticed anything crazy bad that you should be ok. If you notice you are having more stuck episodes or anything like that I'd go ahead and call your Dr.
