Great job Angie! I hate that PB gal too! -BG

What is PB?

That's what I would like to know. I've seen PB several times on this blog, but don't know what it means.

Thanks BG - I am so happy we are making this band look good! Woo!

ready2liveagain and czcnhl - I tend to be more discriptive when I define it so I looked it up. Here ya go...

Definition of a PB.

The PB is also known as a productive burp. In reality it is not simply a burp or even vomiting but somewhere in between. The PB may consist of bringing up mucus or even the bolus of food. You may experience upper abdominal pain lasting from minutes to hours.

Triggers to stop eating:

1. You feel full.

2. You feel like something you’ve eaten is stuck.

3. You PB.

4. You have been eating for 30 minutes.

5. You’ve eaten approximately a half to three quarter cups of food.

Reasons that people PB:

1. You didn’t chew enough.

2. You ate too quickly.

3. You ate too much.

4. Your band is too tight.

5. You’ve eaten the wrong type of food or something that doesn’t agree with the band. Remember, there are some things that no matter how much you chew, will not go down.

sliming - "Sliming" refers to excess saliva in your mouth caused by a very tight band. You might have something stuck inside your stoma that hasn't yet passed through the tightened banded area.
