Silly question, I'm pretty new...what does it mean when people refer to pbing?

Day of surgery I had 5cc I have a 14 cc band. I just got a fill I'm now at 8.75cc. I now feel I'm where I should be with the band. I now feel full sooner and stop eating. I feel like i m in my happy place.

PB= productive burp, like a baby spitting up

Thanks for all the replies everyone. As of now I'm feeling fine, however I haven't had my solids yet. I will let you guys know what the doctor says, my first post op appointment is Monday. So glad so many people care enough to write helpful responses. Well wishes to all during your journeys!

I've never been able to get past 6 with mine. Guess we are all different!

That is awesome!! I too have a large band and just now, today, have 7cc in it and hope this will get me to the green zone. Since they filled it that way during your surgery, I'm sure they checked the fit and thought it safe

Good luck to you!!!

I got my band dec. 19 2012 and my dr didn't put anything in.. idk if I would have been able to handle 7cc right after surgery lol. But I'm glad everything is great with you!!

Just got my first fill. Surg was 12-12-12. My band had 4.5 cc in from surg. They put 1 cc in yesterday. I have a 10 cc band. I'm half full. My friend had her surg with me. She didn't get fill yesterday she only had 2.5 cc in hers. Same dr. Same day surg. All bodies different.

Hi, kindred spirit. I was banded on 1/14 and he left 7ml in mine, too! Except I wasn't ok with it: winced with each swallow, ultimately had horrible frothing/vomiting. He met me at the ER a few days after surgery and now only have 2ml. Well, one good thing is that I definitely know what it feels like to be stuck! If it's working for you, that's all that matters.
