I swallowed a piece of him



Recommended Posts

I snorted.

You're not the only one! Haha! Anyways, I think you should be fine with the gum. You're stomach is still good at digesting, only thing you've limited was the "fitting" aspect of it, so if it were a problem you would have had it come out one way or another by now. Just try be careful lol. (I've done it before though haha....no avoiding it. That stuff is slippery!)

I had my surgery on the 8th of April and just a few minutes ago I had a piece of gum in my mouth and I started laughing and I swallowed my gum should I be worried

Lol

Made my morning! Thought but was gonna be a Dirty Post lol

:)

My dietitian said to be careful if u chew gun cuz swallowing it can cause a blocked stoma --? Not quite sure what that I think it's an opening- your newly out I'm sure ill be ok

But

I'd call your surgeons office now and talk to them- maybe they need to do an X-ray to bake sure it's ok just to be safe

I thought we were not allowed gum? I thought after surgery there was no gum because it lets you suck in more air Same is not using a straw or is that maybe only. While you're recovering ?

Gum? Bummer! Move along folks, there's nothing to see here lol. Seriously, since you didn't have bypass (stoma) I wouldn't worry about it too much. It'll all come out in the end(pun intended).

Yea I was told to stay away from it for awhile but once my Dr put me back on a regular foods I started chewing it again. I haven't had any trouble so far. I'm a pretty fast healer I was at the gym just a few days after my surgery. So that's why I chew it.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
