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.

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.

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.
