Can I chew gum before surgery?

Asked by serenityNOW (3641points) May 10th, 2011 from iPhone

I know I can’t eat or drink for 6 hours, but gum? And, can I use mouth wash? The reason I ask is I’m on a number of medications that dry out my mouth. Also, what happens of I do eat or drink? Will I pee on the doctor? But, gum is my primary question.
