Surgery tomorrow and I swallowed gum!
I doubt they will reschedule surgery. But do tell them about it in case it is a problem.

I would say you'll be just fine. I was able to eat the day before surgery. Albeit a very small amount but I was allowed.
Your message though brings forth a message of why I still to this day do not chew gum. I used to swallow my gum all the time pre-op. I am so scared that I will do that now as a post-op without even thinking. I'm sure that's what happened with you.
Good luck tomorrow!
