I don't believe I have ever heard of anyone's uvula "falling off", but I do know of several people that have had their uvula removed. It is not something that is necessary to live. You will have a greater risk to choking on things without it there, but the feeling of needing to cough everything back up goes away after a while. Just be careful to chew things up well because without it, you will tend to swallow things and not know how large the bite is and you might choke.
