Altoids helped immensely, but unfortunately I needed them right after I woke up, and they wouldn't let me have anything until after my swallow test. Every surgeon is different though so you might get lucky. You need to make sure that you don't swallow any of it though - that would be really bad for your sleeve... and for you.
