My wife and I were banded one month ago innamed band.

We are on soft foods. food is being chewed real well and bites are small. When my wife takes her first bite and swallows she become very light headed. The next bites she takes then are OK. She says it makes her feel like she wants to pass out after swallowing.

Any Ideas?

Hi Syber,

That's a very interesting effect, one I've never heard of! By light-headed, does she mean dizzy? Or faint? Is there any nausea or anything involved? Does it happen with liquids, like Protein shakes, milk, or Soup?

Very weird! :cool:

Never heard of it. (And I've been reading on this topic for a couple of years.)
