What If You Were Swallowed by an Anaconda?

They're the largest snakes on Earth, roaming the Amazon. They've eaten goats, deer, and even crocodiles. So what would happen if an anaconda tried to eat you? Can an anaconda really swallow a human? How long would you be traveling through the snake's body? And has something like this happened before?
