*JASMINE* 1 Posted February 22, 2006 After reading all about PBs, I was under the impression that this meant that your food comes back up because of overeating. But then I found out what PB stands for "productive burp". So I do burp a lot after eating. I know this is because I eat too fast. But if it is said that PBs are bad for you, does this count? Or are they just talking about your food coming all the way back up? Can burping too much cause damage, as well? I'm not new, so I should know this by now, I know:faint:. But my surgeon just cautioned me about vomiting and the damage that could cause, nothing about burping... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJChick 3 Posted February 22, 2006 Gosh I hope burping doesn't hurt you....if it does I'm screwed !! lol I burp ALOT!!! What folks are talking about is the one where food comes back up (PBing). (hope farting doesn't cause damage) :guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have what I call "mini-series" burps, they are like little air bubbles that come up in a mini-series after I eat. Their not too loud or big, but they definitely are entertaining !!

*JASMINE* 1 Posted February 22, 2006 O.K. After looking back at my post, I AM NUTS. Sorry, being an "airhead" today. That was a STUPID question. That's what happens when I analyze things too much. My brain needs a break... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*JASMINE* 1 Posted February 22, 2006 A brain fart...hmmm. I think you got something there. Man, do I do that a lot. Burps...if they don't come out my mouth, they end up in my brain. I guess I better let them come out, otherwise you might start seeing too many quacky posts from me. Thanks guys:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iziksmom 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Okay, it's not a stupid question because I still can't figure it out! :-) I am 4 weeks banded now and I have little episodes where it's like I'm gonna hiccup or burp and nothing comes out. But my chest heaves maybe once(does that make sense) and it kinda hurts a little. Is this a PB???? Nothing's ever come back up and I haven't vomited so I thought I was doing just fine. Do ya think I've PB'd and didn't know it? Wonder if these kind of little episodes will hurt the band??? I have lots of brain farts but I need help determining if I have Pb's! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReneBean 3 Posted February 22, 2006 I think if nothing comes out it's not "productive" so not a PB - however those little episodes might indicate you need to slow down and chew some more... It's odd how we can feel every little thing now... I guess we just weren't paying attention before! :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAYGERL05 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Iziksmom, I used to have those same heaves. I was told that was a sign of being full. I got those heaves on my first fills. Now into my 3rd fill I burp or hiccup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toledogirl 0 Posted February 23, 2006 I think that these are very good questions!!! I have often wondered about pb'ing my self. I think I had a mini pb once or maybe it was a slime? All I that happened was this slimy goo came up and.....well...nevermind...but nothing else came up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
