I don't normally chew gum. It gives me a headache. I was just doing it

on occasion to help w/ the pre-op diet chewing withdrawals! :-) I

wouldn't chew it after my surgery out of fear of swallowing it!

I haven't had any problems with chewing gum and I am out 8 months. I didn't

chew it the first few weeks after my surgery, but I do chew it occasionally

now and I haven't swallowed any pieces.
