It gets digested and you poo it out. What do you think happens to it? Unless you managed to swallow a wad of gum that could possibly fill up your entire sleeve well, and even then, eventually it would be digested.

    My surgeon has chewing gum on our NEVER list in our binder. We discussed it in the pre-op class and he told us it's on the NEVER list because if you swallow it, it could block your pyloric valve and then you'll have problems. If you have been eating and things are passing through fine, then I wouldn't worry about it this time, but I wouldn't make a practice of chewing on it again. Burt your choice. You need to listen to what YOUR surgeon says, not a bunch of people on the internet who don't have a medical degree.
