WARNING!- I Was a LapBand "Orphan"

hi everyone - was wondering if someone could define BPing. I'm seriously considering the surgery but keep hearing people refer to this 'bping' as embarrassing etc... it's really worrying me!

PB is almost always user error. If you eat too fast, swallow too big a bite, or a bite that isn't chewed well it can get stuck. That's uncomfortable. Resist the urge to take a big drink to move it; that just makes it worse. Stand up. If it doesn't move, you may find that you are "sliming" .... lots of mucus and saliva. This is paving the way for that bite to come back up easily. And come back up it will.....just that chewed up bite. Not at all like vomiting because there's no heaving, no stomach acid, not all the contents of your stomach. JUST THAT BITE. Not good table manners and therefore, a bit embarassing. But, as I said, you usually get a little warning. If you're out, leave the table and take your napkin with you in case you have to catch the bite before you get to the bathroom.

It's not the end of the world and as long as I really do take small bites, chew well, and swallow it before I take another bite, I don't have a problem.

I too was an orphan. Went to a big city, but again no one wanted to accept me when they didn't do the surgery. I persisted until a nurse in one office said she would have the doctor review my medical records. From August til December no follow-up/help/advice.

I could be wrong, but I think the abbreviation people have been using (PB) stands for productive burp. I haven't seen BP used before, but I'm still a newbie.

You are describing my experience with my weight. I am not an "Orphan" but the invisibility it right there. Even my husband has ignored me. I am 3 months out and have lost 40 pounds. I feel better but there is another 65 pounds to go. I am walking early in the morning because it is SO hot here in Texas during the summer. Right now I am in a slump and the scales are not moving. After reading your post, I feel much better. I want to be that flirty, exciting woman that turns heads again when I walk into the room. Thank you for your story. I am inspired again.
