I agree with Elode. It's soft and will pass. I can't chew gum anymore. I have tried but I can't. :(

Your sleeve is still a tube so the gum should push on through. I remember the first time I ate Peanut Butter post op. There was no way I could hold enough Fluid to wash it down. I waited a long time before I tried it again. At about six weeks I swallowed a tangrine seed and lived to tell about it. I still have not tried popcorn at a year out, and probably won't.

OH NO! It will stick to your ribs! Well, that's what my mother always told me.

I was told not to chew gum as it brings air in our tummy's and can cause painful gas. As for the bit you swallowed; this too will pass. :rolleyes:

Thank you guys and my doctor told me I can no longer have any type of corn popcorn regular corn anything corn because corn contain sugar even though I can't eat solids the nutritionist at the doctors told me you never again can I have corn or rice or dried fruit nothing that can expand in your stomach so that's I don't know maybe why I freaked out with the gun but so far I seem good a little bit I felt pressure in my chest but I seem to be fine now
