Forum Discussion: Help! I Swallowed My Tongue Ring!
Sunday October 16, 2005
If you swallow your tongue ring (which, for the record, is really not a ring but a barbell in most cases, but tongue barbell just doesn't flow as well as tongue ring and so therefore, for lack of a better word or phrase, tongue ring is suitable at least in my book) it can be a scary thing.

my doctor has instructed me to go to the er to have xrays done to make sure it hasn’t punctured anything internally. especially since it feels like i swallowed a large pill and it is stuck. i think i won’t put another back in after this. if it puntures something or i can’t pass it i’m scared of what will have to be done
I swallwed my tongue ring about 24 hours ago…I was curious if i went to the bathroom if it should have passed by now? i kinda had a stomach ache last night but I feel fine…any advice?
If you feel fine, it probably has passed without any issue. But pay attention to how you feel in the next couple of weeks - if you suddenly start having any problems, don’t forget about the possible connection to swallowing the barbell and see a doctor. But if you feel fine, you probably are - these things usually slide through the digestive system without incident.
i swallowed my barbell with 1 ball, and i’m scared :S, i have a little stomach ache, but i think its because im nervous, what should i do?
I didn’t have mine in… and I was playing with it… And kinda Swallowed it. I know, I had the chance to try and cough it back up, but my throat just kinda… -Gulp- I am so freaked out right now.. It was only like… a hour ago? My stomach hurts sooo bad. -Is Scared-
i swallowed my bar and one ball two days ago and am kinda freaked out i just hope it passes
i just swallowed my ball and it’s 9:30 at night. there is no where to get a replacement ball and i don’t know what to do…i don’t want to take it out b/c i just got it pierced
Yes my daughter swallowed her tongue ring and we are not sure what to do but wait and see if she looses it when she go to the bathroom but if it dont that may be a bad thing OR IS IT DOES ANY BODY KNOW WHAT WE SOULD DO ?
I bought a new barbell yesterday but the bottom ball screw was really difficult to get it and every time I connected it, it kept falling out. Finally I got it in, screwing it really tight. Then just a while ago it fell out and I swallowed it, I could feel it in my throat. I wasn’t sure what part I had swallowed. I was freaking out so dad did that push thing on my stomach for when you choke something, and then I found it, the long part. But I swallowed the top part that goes on top of it. I would only be worried if I swallowed the long bit, ’cause they can rip through things. Hopefully I’ll just pass the little ball bit which I swallowed. They close up fast if you don’t have a barbell in. But I think they’re more trouble than they’re worth and I’m just gonna let it close up for good.
i swallowed the top of my tounge bar & its stuck in my throath & i can feal it in my neck & whe i put my igers back my throat it feals like its stuck under a layer of skin. Im having no trouble breathing but im still worried??
