Alright, so I think I know what PB-ing is now.. Is it when you eat too fast, swallow air, and an air bubble gets trapped under the food and it's achy or stabby and you start producing a bunch of thick mucous and hit your chest and burp and it's better?

Wow, I hope not, because even when I eat slowly, all the chewing makes me swallow air and causes it.

Also, if you don't have any restriction can you still PB?

I've PB'd (if in fact the aforementioned is PBing) and I don't have any restriction. Why?

I really don't want that for the rest of my life.... I'm almost certain it's not good for you.

A PB may or may not have anything to do with air. It's more like a mini-vomiting. Something you just ate isn't sitting well with the band, for whatever reason, and you throw it up.

Wiki says, "regurgitation of non-acidic swallowed food from the upper pouch, commonly known as PB’ing"

If you've ever flushed a toilet and then watch it start to slowly rise instead of go down....that's kindof like a PB. The food in your pouch starts to rise and there is NOTHING you can do about it except let it come out. It's not really like a full blown vomit where contractions in your stomach cause the food to be pushed up and out. This is more like a backed up drain that is still trying to fill. The mucus adds to the food and it starts which causes it to expand and it has nowhere to go but up and out.

You will know it when it happens. It's different from sliming alone, but is accompanied by sliming.

Nah, this is just sliming with lots of unpleasant pain, like it's stuck or something, but no contractions, and no throwing up. I do have to hit my chest really hard to make myself burp though so it goes away. It's like burping a baby, really.

But yea, anyone else experience this?

Also, can you PB with no restriction?
