Paranoid About Getting Stuck!

So i start regular food soon and im so nervous and scared about getting stuck. I know to eat slow, small bites, and chew chew chew but im still scared about it. Does it hurt? Will i be able to get it unstuck? What happens if it doesnt pass thru or come up? These are the thoughts that are in my head right now..lol. Any advice other than the obvious?
