Just wondering if anyone knows if PBs contain stomach acid. When my band is this tight and I am not SUPER careful, I frequently get stuck. If it's bad enough, it comes back up (and out) and of course there is instant relief. This happens to me quite frequently. I didn't think PBs contained stomach acid so it was not the same as full blown throw up. After my trip to the dentist yesterday, now I am not so sure. I had quite a lot of cavities which is unusual for me. Does anyone know for sure the deal with PBs?

Most PB's would not contain stomach acid because the food hasn't gotten to your stomach yet. That is why it doesn't taste like regular vomit.

Rule of thumb: if it tastes just like it does coming up as it did going down, it's not vomit. There is no HCL acid in ur PBs. Vomit is forceful. BP is burp and up it comes. If this is happening a lot u r irritating ur pouch. Chew 30x b4 swallowing. If this isn't working u need a slight unfill. I am fortunate enuf to b a patient of tHe fabulous Jessie Ahroni, who wrote the LapBand book that most surgeons recommend u read. She wAs my fill nurse the past 5 years......I'm full of knowledge and very experienced with the band.Message me anytime!!
