Does anyone know how long after surgery, before I can chew gum?

My surgeon says never. All docs are different on their beliefs though.

Just out of curiosity why is chewing gum considered a potential problem?

I am allowed gum

I have to chew it for a few seconds to get the nasty Protein taste out of my mouth after I eat. That is about all I do.

I think some advise against it because it stimulates acid in your stomach.
