Ones anyone else eat their meals (and they seem to go down fine) but about an hour later start experiencing stomache ache and then PB? I had my band unfilled for surgery a few weeks ago but I have had more PB and vomiting since getting it loosened. I even had the morning stomache acid vomiting and have had to go on reflux medicine.

PB'ing usually happens immediately after or during stuck episode. For food to pass through the stoma and into your lower stomach it does seem very odd that you would be PBing.

Are you sure it's PB'ing? PB'ing happens when you are stuck and it's a combination of small burp like vomits that produce the slime and maybe some food chunks and seems to limit the amount of discomfort from being stuck?

I've never had acid reflux so I can't comment on that issue?

It could be vomiting but a lot of the time I feel like I'm going to vomit and it is a lot of dr heaving and burping. Also if I lay on my left side I burp almost nonstop. I might have to book a flight to my dr.

Good idea. Vomiting can lead to a slip. Your stomach goes into convulsions with vomiting and could dislodge your band from the sutures that adhere the band to your stomach.

Hello, I got my band in Jan of this yr. so far I have lost 70lbs and am soooo happy!!! 20 more to go to hit my goal. I really have never has any "BIG" problems, I may vomited twice in 8 months. How ever, about a month ago I had to get a flush b/c I had a piece of chicken that had gotten stuck causing me not to be able to eat or drink. When my Dr flushed me I felt as if I have been able to eat a cow. I'm afraid that some how my band has slipped. Does anyone know or has had slippage? And what are/were your symptoms??? HELP!!

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
