I swallowed a piece of him



Recommended Posts

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

Whew--this is only about GUM, not cannibalism! I feel MUCH better.

I hope everything about the gum you swallowed, ummmm, "comes out okay". w00tbrows.gif

I had to take a 2nd look at that post! LOL! Thought maybe you were a cannibal. Not sure how swallowing gum works with the sleeve. Im currently banded which I guess is a no-no, but my dr never said anything about it to me. And never once in the past 46 have I ever swallowed a pc of gum. Since there's nowhere for it to actually get stuck (ike with the lapband), I'm sure you're ok.

Just be more careful in the future! And use spellcheck! (like that would've done any good!)

I am used to reading typos, I figured it was gum. Either that our you had one heck of a hunger attack! :o

I think the gum will pass.

I guess it was better to mistype and have it come out "piece of him", rather than spell "gum" with a "c". :rolleyes:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
