Oh my gosh I accidentally swallowed my gum!! I feel pretty ok, i think I feel it but it's not bad, and it totally might be all in my head bc I'm so freaked out. Anyone ever have this?? Advice???

I am NOT a doctor and I don't play one on t.v. ~ HA!

Yes, I had that happen. It was not "bubble" gum; but a small piece of chewing gum. I didn't have any issues.

Thank you! This wasn't bubble gum either...just regular gum to cover my coffee breath! I feel ok but I still think I feel it there. I've had water to try to help it go down, but no luck. My husband suggested I try to eat something small to see if that would work, but I'm scared!

If you don't feel it, chances are it went through like a piece of food. Try a hot liquid if you are still nervous and of course listen to your body and if you feel like something is wrong contact your surgeon!

contrary to the urban myth gum is not as resilient as you may believe I've chewed gum to the point of disintegration many times and I literally swallowed my gum every time I chewed it for years since I though spitting out gum was disgusting.

If you can get a hold of your surgeon and feel the gum then see if you can get a hold of your surgeon by text or phone ask him/her or ask if it is alright or if they want to take a look but ask asap, cause they will know for sure as our tool is silicone and the gum is sticky I have heard that we are not suppose to swallow gum not really sure why but I would ask my doc asap if the symptom was bothering me.
