Stupid Question

I have been banded for 5 weeks, and to the best of my knowledge it stands for productive burping. This means that if you eat to much or take too big of bites that we burp it back up. At least this is my understanding of what it means, I have only pb one time, but that was enough for me.

Ummm sounds exciting LOL!! Can't wait

Oh you don't want this to happen but once then its OMG how can I keep this from happening!!! LOL!!

Pb stands for productive burp! You get this really bad tight feeling in your chest then the next thing you know your not sure if you are going to burp or throw up!! Well then you kinda gag and you feel like your saliva gets slimy and then it comes up. Almost like a mini throw up. This usually happens when you didn't chew well enough took to big of a bite.

Bandmesoon, have you used the "Search" feature on the top bar? You can type in whatever word and it lists all the threads with that word in it from newest to oldest. That might keep you from going crazy trying to find out something. Or you can just do what you did and ASK! Anxious to see your sig...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
