If you eat and it causes you to PB does that make your band tighter for a while after that?

It can. It's usually advised to go back to liquids for a while (some say 24 to 48 hours.. I've never had to do it THAT long) after a "refunding" episode. Just baby your band for a little bit and take it easy.

BP is the main drawback that I have about the band. My experience occures when I wait to long to eat and then rush the first couple of bites. My DOC after a BP episode to take it easy for the rest of the day and then take it slow small bites and CHEW CHEW CHEW. Dont drink anything when you feel this start to happen it surely will make it occure. The act of the BP causes irritation and some swelling at the band area. So, that is why some say to back on liquids.

Thats intresting what your saying about not drinking anything when you feel a stuck episode come on. I did try and drink something and boy oh boy! The food and drink both come right back up! My first inclination was to dry and drink something to dislodge the stuck food.... not a good idea! But, now I know. And I will take it easy the rest of the day. Thanks yall!
