Ok, so maybe I'm dense, but what does this mean? PB?

I read about it.

I know it's gross.

I know it's not fun.

I doubt I've ever done it.

But I keep reading about it and no one ever seems to say exactly what it is.

Sorry for the newbie question, but someone has to ask.

.... and please... no "You'll know it if you do it." comment.

Thanks all

Glad to hear another Jan bandster is feeling well!

Yeah. I read about it all the time. People say "I'm afraid I will PB or throw up" and I'm thinking.. ok so its not that...

Anyway. Glad to hear your doing well.

PB stands for "productive burp". It is when stuck food comes back up, normally accompanied by its friend "slime" (excess saliva). It isn't as bad as throwing up, but not a lot of fun either. I hope that helps.:thumbup:

      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?
