Claustrophobia

[Guest guest]

I have claustrophobia. One day I got locked in a bathroom stall and I

panicked. I had to stand on the toilet to see the rest of the bathroom,

and tell myself there is air to breathe. With that....Having had lower

jar advancement just over a week ago, I was afraid I would wake up and

panic with the bands tightly holding my mouth shut. Well, there was no

problem. I think later that day for about 1 second I felt a little

panic, but then it was gone. I even vomited twice that first day (one

of my pre-op fear), and by holding my lips open, everything came out

fine. I write this to encourage others who have those two fears.
