Anyone had a PB yet?

Good luck PJ!! Wow you are already going in for your second fill and I have yet to have mine!

I tried rice tonight! Need to be extremely careful with it. I didn't PB but it did get a little stuck. I'll have to be sure I eat it really slow! Or not at all.....

Thanks....today i got my fill. He put 1.25 cc's in which gives me 6.25. I am hungry now since today is Clear liquids only. I will find out tomorrow.

Good Luck PJ!

My doctor told me I could only get 4cc total in my band...though I know it is a 10cc band. ??? I am a little confused about that.

I haven't PB'ed yet. I am still getting to know the "full" feeling and seem to be doing ok with it. From what I have been reading you will KNOW it when you PB and there is no mistaking it. To date I only have 2 cc so I am not sure I have the right amount of restriction yet.

I have a dumb question. IF a PB is when you throw up stuff above the stomach...what happens when you get something like the stomach flu or food poisoning? Has anyone experienced this? Will it hurt our bands?:rolleyes2:

My band size is 10 cc's. I went for my 2nd fill yesterday which gave me a total of 6.25 cc's in my band. I go for my 3rd fill Oct. 20th. I was starving with 5 cc's after my last fill in Aug. Hopefully you misunderstood the Dr. about 4cc's is all you can have in your band. I'm hoping 6.25 cc's gives me better restriction for a longer period of time.

You folks might be interested in the technical aspects of how to measure a fill that I posted on http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f183/got-my-first-fill-75679/

You might be wrong if you think you have 6 cc's in your band, but you should always ask your doctor about the details (see the thread).

I ate salad on Saturday night and had excruciating painful reflux. My chest hurt and I felt burning in my esophagus. Last night I took a pill about 4 hours after I had dinner. It must've gotten stuck because my chest hurt and it was difficult to swallow liquids. I tried to throw it up but I couldn't. Today I have that feeling like when you've eaten too much but I haven't eaten anything yet. I could barely sleep last night miserable. Not sure if this is normal or not

I am not sure what PB means. I think it has something to do with throwing up? Anyway. It has been more then a year and i still throw up 2-3 times during every meal. I know that I am trying to get more food down then I should. But i eat and all seems okay and I always do it, I take one bite to much and there I go running for the bath room. When I got my surgery i just did it, No research, nada. i got it done in Mexico (rosarito beach) where I live and they do not make you go through any kind of education. It was not untill today for the firat time I have ever gone to do any research on line. This is beacause for the last 4 days I have not been able to hold anything down , Not even my coffe or Water. Not sure what has gone wrong.

I would definitely call you doctor!! Vomiting like this is something you DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE and should not continue to be doing. If you continue to vomit you risk slipping your band and needing surgery to fix it.

I would call your doctor as soon as possible and get an appt! Explain that you are vomiting that frequently and make sure they fit you in! If you have had a fill recently it may be your band is too tight and that is why you cannot keep anything down you will need to get some saline taken out to ease the swelling at your stomach.

Call your doctor.

Hi,

I'm so disappointed in myself. I had my first PB late this afternoon. I'd come close once or twice since my first fill on Thursday, but this time it wasn't even a choice. I'm bummed. I thought I had my portions and textures under control. It was Water that did me in.

Oh well. I suppose this is important for the learning curve. I have to forgive myself. I'd eaten about 1/2 an omelette at noon, and had a few (really - like four) crackers I've managed with before around 4:00 after finishing my Protein shake at 3:00. Then Water at 5:00, and it just wouldn't pass through.

I feel yukky still. I know it will pass and I'll be fine soon, but I'm not happy with myself.

Thanks everyone for your support on this. I know it is normal, but I just hate it.
