Ok I'm going to ask again. What is a PB? I know it means a productive burp, but Is it just another way to say vomiting?

Okay, here's a couple of links to threads that will probably answer your question, I'm sorry I can't answer you myself, but I haven't been banded yet:

Thank you so much!

Yes, basically it means barfing. But, barfing post-op is different because you're not really pulling up food that has already started digesting...you're just pulling up food that is sitting in the pouch. No digestive juices are in the pouch so the food pretty much still looks like wet, chewed food! I hope that helps!

PBing can also make you feeling a bit sore afterwards as I have found out! I've only PBed twice since being banded and it is not very pleasant!!lol!!
