Hey peeps

I defiantly am an avid gum chewer. I was banded on Monday and just wanted to get thoughts on chewing gum this soon.

Im not sure if youre asking if it would be a problem or bad for diet?

To be honest, there were a couple of days that chewing gum helped me get rid of the desire to "chew" something in the early days. The bad part is that I think that some of the fake sugars used in sugar free can cause bloating. But im not sure. I chew gum now and im almost 4 months post op.

I haven't heard negative (yet) about chewing gum, and have chewed a bit following surgery. but I'll ask my surgeon tomorrow when i see him

Some people have horror stories of people swallowing gum and ending up in the emergency room..REALLY! If something is stuck like that i'm sure you could throw it back up...not advocating vomiting..ijs...lol..I chew guma nd I have been banded over a year and I have yet to swallow it..lol

I've been craving gum, and wondering the affects it might. I am gonna have gum.

Just don't swallow it

I chew gum from time to time. I think it's ok as long as you don't swallow it.
