Gum Chewing

[jeanetteramirez2 45]

Hey guys.. I have a very random problem. I swallow my gum and can't stop. Do you think this will affect me post op? All feedback is appreciated, thank you

My doctor said no gum swallowing ever after surgey, no amount is 'too small' to be ok, no exceptions. Of course I forgot, once, the pain I'll never forget.

I was the same way so now that I'm post op I avoid gum at all costs possible!!! I couldn't imagine actually swallowing gum now that I've had chicken get stuck I couldn't even think of the pain swallowing gum would give!

Yeah, you might want to leave the gum along. Plus it over works your stomach.

Omg it was the most horrible pain ever!! It felt like someone was stabbing me in my heart and I tried to make myself throw up but it wouldn't come up and I kept gagging and nothing but foam would come up and nothing would help make the pain go away.....so I avoid chicken now too!! Chicken and Mr. Pouchy don't get along!

When I got mine stuck doctor told me to drink 6 ozs of warm Water mixed with a teaspoon of adolfs meat tenderizer. Throwing up was no problem after that for me.
