PB's

[SarahStLouis 1]

To me, it's pretty much all vomiting if it's coming back up. Just wondered what you all thought...

Hiya,

From my understanding, PB'ing is anything that comes up that is "above" the band (i.e. food that hasn't passed through the band yet) vs. vomiting which is anything that comes up from below the band.

PB'ing also doesn't take as much effort and/or any retching as vomiting does for me anyway...

PBing is the regurgitation of non-acidic swallowed food from the upper pouch.

Ahh! Thanks for the clarification, ladies. I have been having a lot more PBing than vomiting. lol

You bet I have yet to truly vomit with my band and never want to.. That increases risk of slipping. Have you determined why you're pb'ing? Are you too tight or just not chewing well? Mine happens around Tom ;( I get tighter then. But only lasts a couple of days.

Yes, it usually happens if I don't chew well enough or eat something I really shouldn't.... amazing how that works, huh?

I never have PB or vomiting, I also have little restriction though. 3rd fill next week *crosses fingers*
