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...

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

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 !!

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...

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:)

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! :-)

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!

:]

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.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
