Question:
I had bariatric surgery almost 2 wks ago, and accidentally swallowed a peice of gum. what you i do to help.?
I swallowed a peice of gum. I had bariatric surgery almost 2 weeks ago. How can I get it to pass, or will it pass on its on? Any ideas or suggestons would be appreciated.
Answers:
Did you have a bypass or a band? If you had a bypass then you might want to be a little concerned that the gum may not pass thru the stoma into your intestines. If you had a band then it probably shouldn't be an issue unless its been filled.
Regardless of the procedure, I don't think gum is on the diet, especially after 2 weeks. Not trying to chastise, but the success of your surgery will be predicated on your compliance and behavior modification..
Anyway, if you get nausea or cramps I would place a call to your surgeon.
