PBing is productive burping. When you get stuck to the point the food needs to come back up. At first it feels like you need to throw up, but you're really just burping up the food that is stuck. It is the most uncomfortable feeling when it's going to happen, but then you feel a million times better when it's over. At least that's how it has been the couple times it happened to me.

I'm officially banded now! I had my surgery on Wednesday morning. The worst part was I had 3 toe rings that we couldn't off so the nurse had to cut them off. But the surgery itself was over before I knew it, the last thing I remember was saying this OR looks nothing like they do on Greys Anatomy, the I woke up in recovery. The only pain I had was a slight gassy pain in my left shoulder, which went away within a couple hours. I did wake up with a cough so that hurts quite a bit. My only other issue is getting in and out of my bed and recliner, I've got to figure out a way to do that with less pain! Good luck to everyone with surgeries coming up!!

I love the Isopure juices. They have 40 grams Protein in 20 oz, only 160 calories. Some of the flavors are horrible, but I've found the pineapple Orange banana, Grape and Alpine Punch ones to be wonderful. Since they are juice based, they aren't as heavy on your stomach as the milk based ones. I get them at GNC, not sure if they are also at costco.< /p>

Thanks so much! I did receive approval from insurance already, but there was some wording in the letter that made me think they would be checking in again to make sure the surgery was still medically necessary. This is my first surgery so I'm nervous about following everything to the T.
