gum graft surgery this past friday. They put a resin type material on roof of mouth where they take the graft from. supposed to stay on for a week till followup and they remove. I noticed after lunch today it was gone.. i must have swallowed it while eating or sleeping and didnt even notice. I am freaking out now about getting an obstruction in my loop ileostomy . I called Shens office and his nurse said to watch for obstruction signs of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomitting. If so call and get in to scope it. If I do end up with an obstruction would they be able to retrieve it through the ileostomy? I am freaking out about surgery for an obstruction. The resin bandage was about the size of a half stick of chewing gum and very thin. scared to death now..always something. how soon would symptoms show of a possible obstruction??
