JaniceBlack Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Posted December 20, 2009 I am not a big gum person, but I wanted to tell you I love your Snoopy! I heart my band too. I like to chew gum when I walk. Just didn't know if we were allowed to chew it or not. This is the link that I found Snoopy enjoy! http://www.glitter-graphics.com/
AngieB Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 I think the biggest concern is the air that gets swallowed while chewing gum. I personally have had no issues with drinking from a straw on occcasion, having a beer from time to time. Which are also in the "air" catagory. I think anything in moderation is a-ok. If you don't get good feed back give the OCC a call and ask. Can't hurt to get there opinion.

Kayla Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Sorry, Question about chewing gum? Are you able to chew gum????????? Is that a silly question??? Janice, thanks for asking this question. I'm curious about this too. I don't normally chew it that much, but I randomly do at times! Of course, I could quit it if I had to.
Lindsay Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 I was a big gum chewer pre-band ... post, I've had to really cut back, as I get gassy, and end up burping a lot. As long as I keep the burps, going, it's fine.
JaniceBlack Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Posted December 20, 2009 I hope someone from OCC can answer my question.
bogiesmom Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Janice & Kayla, Talked to Dr. So about this when I went to the OCC for my fill on Thursday. I brought it up because when I was in the waiting room the nurse made me spit my gum out. Dr. So said it really is not a big deal to have a piece every once in awhile (i chew 3 - 4 pieces per week). I need to chew it for different reasons (nerves, desire to eat when I should'nt, urge to smoke). He said if it becomes an issue that I can try chewing it only until the flavor goes away then spit it out. He said the nurse probably told me to get rid of it since I was there for a fill (no one ever told me that I could not shew gum...again, I really need the rule book).
StephC2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 I chewed a piece of gum on the plane ride home. I didn't even think to see if it would be an issue. I am only 3 days post band.
JaniceBlack Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Posted December 21, 2009 Thank you everyone... I like to chew gum while walking.
TickerWatcher Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 Thank you everyone... I like to chew gum while walking. You can chew gum WHILE walking?!! I'm jealous!
macleay Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 You can chew gum WHILE walking?!! I'm jealous! LOL! Yeah, she's talented! I won't be chewing any gum, because I always swallow it!! I'm afraid I won't remember to spit it out, and since I didn't chew it much anyway, I'm just going to avoid it.
