This is a great question ... I hope many more people respond.
I was told no gum just in case you swollow it. But if you do, and it gets stuck, it's not that big a deal ... they just stick something down your throat to pluck it out. Maybe that other surgeon said you would have to have "open abdominal surgery" just to scare you???
I was also told no citrus. I understand it can irritate the new pouch. But does this mean I can't have it EVER?
I was told no grapes for a year. Why? I have no clue.
Anyone else heard of this?!
