Has Anyone Experienced Anxiety With Having The Lab?

I had the worst episode of anxiety after my first meal of solid food. I thought I was stuck which could have increase the feeling of anxiety. but I had no pain but did have extreme dryness and difficulty swallowing after meal. Has anyone gone thru this?? Any suggestions or experiences with this. Also i feel so upset i keep thinking is the band worth keeping in?? Tomorrow I'll be 3 Weeks post OP.Thank you

Hang in there and take your time while you eat. Sometimes I even take a break and go back to it.

Great advice thanks.

Sojourner,

That was incredible advice. Thanks !!!

I keep hearing no drinking before or after eating for 30 mins on this forum. But my doctor has never told me this so its another thing I'm worried about. What is the reason for no drinking while eating?

i think its so that the food doesnt slip through the band faster and in greater quantities than its supposed to?? that can cause problems over time.
