While chewing you are sucking air into your tummy and creating stomach juices. It really isn't that bad I had the lapband and haven't had gum in over 5 years, you won't miss it.

I had never heard that you couldn't chew gum. I am a little over 5 months post op and have chewed sugar free gum the whole time. I am down 75 lbs and i don't believe it has hurt me any. I dont plan to stop now.

One of the main reasons I read was in case you swallow it. I had to laugh, I'm an adult, and I don't think I've swallowed gum in years, I don't think I'll have an issue accidentally swallowing it in the future. Also, I have read the same thing about getting gas into your stomach. The same goes for straws, they say no straws because you can swallow air and become uncomfortable. I say once you are post op, try it! Everyone is different, you won't know if it is okay for yourself until you try it. Also, discuss it with your surgeon, and if there are risks, weight them for yourself. I will try straws and gum again, since my stomach won't EXPLODE from doing either activity, in my opinion, it is a risk worth trying ;)

It is the swallowing thing. Gum stuck in a new tummy healing = bad news!!

I have been chewing daily since 3 months out. Orbit white bubble mint. My fav. Just make sure it's sugar free cause gums like bubblelicius are nothing but sugar. (My old favorite lol)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
