You : You will need to go to see a physician. A radiograph will be taken to see exactly where this ring is. It may still be in your stomach. Please go immediately to be seen to determine the proper course of treatment.

Hopefully swallowed: If you inhaled, rather than swallowed it, get to a hospital er as soon as possible for evaluation. If you swallowed it, it will pass through your digestive tract and out the other end, and you know exactly what i mean. If you want it back, you have to search your stool for the next 2 to 5 days. You should locate it just to make sure that it passes.
