A very STUPID Question!!



Recommended Posts

What is PBing? I see that referenced a lot but have no idea what it means. I am guessing it means vomiting but I just don't know for sure.

Can someone please let me know what it means?

Thanks.

PB is productive burp. It's not quite vomiting since there is no stomach acid. It is VERY similar though. It is food that has not made it through the pouch. It usually happens when you either a) eat too fast, :cursing: eat too much, or c) take too big of a bite (first bite syndrome). It isn't exactly pleasant so you want to avoid it if you can.

Thanks again for clearing up my confusion!!!

It is like a mini vomit. You heave like you are vomiting, but it doesn't have that nasty taste. Also, once the food that was stuck comes up, you stop. It is still really gross.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
