  1. Can anyone tell me exactly what is esophageal dilation and what the complications are from it? My doctor said that I was starting to dilate when he filled me up with the help of a floroscope.
  2. I had the lapband surgery in Tucson, Az on July 29th and had my 6 week fill (1 cc) on September 6th. My doctor told me that I probably wouldn't feel the restriction and mostly have not. I find that sometimes I feel restricted and other times I do not. Is this just all in my head or does it work this way? Is this normal? Does overeating "hurt" the fill or the band? I am trying not to, but I have had trouble a few times. Also, there's a lot of talk about "PB ing" or productive burping. What exactly is that? Seriously, I am not sure if I've done it. I vomited once. Is this PB? Are you supposed to go on liquids after doing this? Thanks for the insights in advance. Josefa Down @ 20 pounds.
