Question:

I swallowed my barbell from my tongue piercing at 3:30 today EST….has anyone ever done it before…it is standars size…..will it pass OK..Im kinda freaking

Response:

nah it is no biggie…as long as you did not swallow the entire thing.i mean it isn’t that big of a deal but if you swallow the bar as well then there is always the possiblity that it can puncture a hole in the stomach or intestines while passing.i have heard of this happening before.a firend of mine had this happen and she was told to watch her bowel movements to make sure the barbell came out ok, really gross but had to be done,to be on the safe side. if you just swalloed the bead well have no fear as i have swallowed, what….like 3 or 4 of them and i haven’t even had my tongue pierced for a year yet!!!

Don’t sweat it, you are not the first and most likely not the last. If you experience abdominal pain do get to a physician as soon as possible and tell em what happened. The only concern would be blockage in the intestines which is anything but pleasant. Trust me the lower GI alone is no fun but it’s nothing compared to the cramps of a total blockage. — Chumley The Happy Clown Master Piercee "The clown is not a big hairy spider.

A tongue stud will normally pass through your body without problems, but to be sure, you should watch for it to pass and take note of any unusual abdomenal pain.

But as I said..99% of the time,it causes no problem…just get a new barbell in that hole before it closes :) elcrys

i’m glad i’m not the only one… things to watch out for- 1. if you’re having any problems breathing, and this would have started immediately after you swallowed it, get thee to a hospital. i thought i had asphyxiated mine, but it turned out i just gave myself a panic attack thinking about it. 2. seriously- look for it, make sure it comes out okay. this will take a couple of days, and sometimes it can be hard to see- look for the little glint of silver. for some reason, my toilet wouldn’t flush my barbell and my dad found it chilling on the bottom of the bowl. i do NOT want to think of the logistics of that. 3. on the same note, if you get any abdominal pains, off to the hospital. i’m not trying to scare you- i was pretty freaked when i swallowed mine- but you do have to be careful. i got x-rays taken just in case. you don’t have to, but it made me feel better. and what a cool x-ray that was! good luck, and happy hunting. –ruki–

Hah! I swallowed my tounge ring and had to spend my birthday taking x-rays for fear of internal bleeding. It was kinda cool to see it kickin it in my lower stomach. Oh well, I didn’t have enough patience to sort through my you know what for it but i’m sure it’s somewhere in sewer heaven. gloriani

I have never known that I have swallowed a piece of jewelry, but once I noticed something shiny in the toilet after using it… caught the feces in question with a plunger and poked at it with a pencil. It was an earring. The funniest part was that it was not my earring. I had never seen it before in my life. So I thought about it for a few minutes, shrugged, and threw it away with the pencil, both well-wrapped in TP. I suppose it came from some food I ate, but who knows? I also once found a bobby pin in some lasagna from a school lunch. I think I would have noticed that one in my mouth, but, luckily, it never made it that far. I can see myself at the doctor’s getting x-rays for something like that. Of course, I did end up at the hospital with a bead up my nose when I was a kid. So maybe that’s why it’s not that impossible to imagine. Sara http://welcome.to/sarasworld "I’m still punk rock, you know."                 -Courtney Love
