Bad breath

 Really? I guess all surgeons and nutritionists are different with their reccommendations. They told me not to because if I happened to swallow it accidentally, it wouldn't be a pretty picture with the stoma, etc. It could get stuck they said, and to go to the ER. Everything else they've suggested has been very good advice, and has worked for me, so I just trust them. PLUS, gas is enough of an issue post-RNY, so gum may produce more. BUT THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL TAKE ON IT. I wish I could. Now I am tempted to do it. Hmmmmmmmm.........
