Help! I swallowed my gum!

I accidentally just swallowed my gum- 5 days post op- should I be concerned? Call surgeon? I can't believe this just happened. :(

    Be careful, I am not sure that we should be having gum. It gets the stomach juices going or something like that. Try to stay away from it.

    Called my surgeon- on a Saturday night. He said I should be just fine. Needless to say I won't be chewing gum again. Thanks all! :)
