I'm pre op also but from what I understand PB is progressive burp. Like throwing up but the food comes up whole, like it went down. I think it can happen when you overfill your pouch, eat too much.

Hi, I'm in my 3rd month of the 6 month program required by my Dr. & Insurance co. My Dr. also requires I loose 10% prior to surgery. I've been getting very nervous and scared, as I was preparing for RNY gastric bypass. Tonight I've been reading the posts and wow! You folks have motivated me. I've decided I'm going with the band. I know I can go through with the band surgery. I'm scared to death of the other. My biggest problem right now is my emotional relationship with food. I need to loose 25 lbs. in the next 3 months. And I'm eating like I've never eaten before. I think it is like "last supper syndrome". Dr said I may have to start a liquid diet next month if I'm not on track. And the thought of that is causing me to eat more. I need to take control but I seem to have no will power. You'll be hearing from me more often, now since I've decided Lapband is the way to go. I'll need all your help and support to get me through. Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm still losing the wieght and just had a Dr's visit Friday. She told me that they are going to place the incisions in a from the side instead of throught the top, but she still needs me to lose a few more pounds. I'm getting nervous about it again. Not so much because of the band itself and the lifestyle changes, though that is a part of it, but more so because if this one can't be done, if it fails to be placed, I think I will go into depression. So, this has to be right.
What's scaring you about the band?

Hi guys, I met with the bariatrician, Dr. Wieger today, started my 6 month physician supervised diet, everything looks good. I have to have an upper GI, which I think, is pretty routine, considering my acid reflux. I go back in 1 month and visit with a nutritionist. And meet with my surgeon, Dr. Davidson. www.wgtlossclinic.com I'm so excited I just had to share. Cathy

Who decides when you've lost enough weight?

Just like haircuts, it's my hair I wear it like I want. Just be happy and healthy. Weight is a number. more important is how you feel and your health. Congrats!! Could you share some before and after pictures with us for extra encouragement? Cathy -

Actually, I just got my consult scheduled for June 4th, I will start a 6 month physician supervised diet on that date as well. It's required by my insurance. So I hope to get banded in the new year. You'll have to tell me all about it. Cathy -

Wow, that must have been very disappointing at the time. But thank God everything is OK! Good luck and I hope the new WAIT goes fast for you. Cathy -
Social Group created for 6 month supervised dieters.

Awesome, I didn't start yet, though I will be -someday, soon I hope. I did my initial paperwork and sent it back. Now I'm waiting for Dr. Office to get all the paperwork from my PCP and schedule my consult. -
