I accidentally swallowed a piece of gum!! And it felt STUCK! I've been chewing gum to help with some urges and for some flavor and better breath, and before surgery, I'd swallow it without thinking...apparently I will after surgery, too! I called the surgeon on call and he said that if I was still able to drink and keep liquids down, I was fine. And I am, and today I feel better. And I'm down 14 lbs!

Hi Becky: Glad your gum incident was not too bad in the long run. Guess perhaps now you will have to consciously think when you have the gum in your mouth. Anyhow, congrats on the 14 pounds lost! Lisa
