Yet another question

[avanderhoof 0]

I have been on here only one day, and feel like I have asked so many questions.

In looking through the post op forum I notice a lot of questions about pb'ing.

What does that mean? :thumbdown: I guess I don't know everything about post op complications.

Oh I know this one. It is short for productive burp. It is when food comes back up. Never makes it through the band into the stomach, so it's not really like vomiting. After my third fill and restriction, if I don't take TINY bites, chew LOTS, and take break between bites, I PB. Lots of saliva and the food - have to spit it out. It can happen if you eat too much too. Some foods cause me to PB - dry meat (chicken, turkey), Pasta, bread. Sorry for the gross answer, but..... just the facts. Good luck to you and keep asking questions. I asked LOTS when I first came on here - and still do. Becky

Yuck, but thanks for the answer! I wasn't told about that. I'll make sure to remember that one when I feel like woofing my food down.
