jambam-44 18 Posted October 7, 2016 My surgery was on October 4th. Just curious if I can have sugar free gum or mints at this stage. Just something to get the yucky taste out of my mouth. Thanks!

KristenLe 5,979 Posted October 7, 2016 I know that you can not swallow gum or pieces of a mint. Why don't you try a mouth rinse until you can ask your surgeon if you can have gum or mints? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App I am now a week out since my surgery. I asked my doctor if I could chew gum as well and she told me no because you can bring air in your sleeve by chewing.
