Try taking an antihistamine and see if it goes away.

Thanks Kat for the reply I am having more good days, I just have to remember to breath and when all else fails go for a walk Diane

Hi all I hope someone else can tell me they started out like me. I have so much anxiety I am about 5 weeks out and until yesturday I could hardly eat anything. Now food is going down easy and I just over ate I had about 1 1/2 cup of chix, carrots, string Beans and squash that I made in the slow cooker. I don't feel terrible just really full and when I bent down to put dishes away I got a throat full. But the real problem is my fear that something will go wrong, that I will PB ect or slip. I am over focusing on everything going on inside me and am dying to drink Water to wash down this full feeling, I know I can't. Am I going to be able to do this? The thought of getting a fill is filling me with fear. I want to be one of the smiling faces on this board that says "I love my band" But right now all I can say is I am afraid of my band. Does it get easier? What is wrong with me? Diane

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's death, thats a lot of changes in one year you are a very strong person. I will say it for me and your Mom I am very proud of you...:clap2:

Thanks SD Chick and everyone else who replied I just found out from my Doctor that I am slightly hyper thyroid so I know that is contributing to my post op anxiety. So I have to lower my thyroid meds and wait for them to get out of my system.

thanks Telica for you reply I did use during nap today hopefully I will out grow it as I shrink

Danielle thanks for the reply I just hate feeling this way its just like you said I can't focus on anything and external noise bother me but thats getting better. So did you have to use your Cpap in the recovery room? How long did it take you to get used to it? I haven't used mine in about a week. Guess I should try it again aghhh Diane

Thanks Kathy for replying it makes me feel better knowing he was able to have surgery in spite of his apnea However I am sorry for him that the weight came back on and he meeded sugery. I have been feeling better until My eyes started swelling yesturday I have food allergies and the food color is a nono for me I was also put on liquid amixil (bright Pink) 5 days ago for a uti so I am hopin its not the antibiotic Juust Gods way of keeping me on my toes lol Thanks again and I hopw all is well with you husband Diane

I had a bladder infection and they were considering canceling however I went on antibiotics and reculterd before surgery and it was fine However at my preop testing they would not test for a bladder infection because I needed a prescription for the test SO make sure you get one for a throat culture before going for testing. good luck Diane

thanks Chimboree I am going to check out that sight right now. Just 28 and so wise

I am 17 days post op and feel your fear as I am dealing with some of the same fear. I am having mushy food and am going a way for a week just as I start solid food, I will be 5 days on solid food and thinking of canceling the trip. I will be able in a limitted way prepare my own food, fear of eating who knew I would ever say that.

Thanks npubander and Katie for thaking the time to read such a long post and reply. Can i ask how your Husband knew when he didn't need it any longer after loosing weight? Did he have to do a new sleep study? Thanks again Diane
