How does PBing and sliming work, exactly?



Recommended Posts

When you get stuck do you have a moment to get to the bathroom or is in instantaneous dry heaving where you would have to duck and run to the loo? Do you have a few moments where you can try and relax it out? I'm curious to know what it feels like exactly. I really want to avoid having to run to the bathroom and barf during social situations but from what it sounds like its a learning experience to figure out what you can or can't have.

Read below (links to my blog here on LBT) if you want my first experiences with each, but let me tell you the first time is the worst...you get better at knowing it's coming and sometimes it does actually pass. Click here: PB and SLIMER

I find that I have time to pace around the bathroom (within shot of the toilet). Not a fun thing...but I try to do a 'mind over matter' thing...and if it doesn't work...I'm where I need to be.

      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?
