I'm getting my band in July, but I have heard people talking out PBIng and sliming. I'm not exactly sure what it is. Is it when the food gets stuck, or comes back up? What does it feel like, and what do you do when it happens? Seems scary!

I've never heard of either one of those.... but getting stuck is not a good feeling. it feels like something wedged in your stomach that wont budge. For me, when I throw up while being stuck it's like a huge air bubble of mucus along with the food that got stuck. It's hard to explain but it's really nasty lol. Papaya Enzymes help a lot when you're stuck as well. It's a digestive supplement that helps the food go down. It's different for everyone....

PBing stands for productive burping and means when you have some food stuck you basically bring it back up by burping.

Sliming is the production of excessive saliva which commonly happens when you are stuck.

Neither are pleasant and are best avoided if at all possible by eating very slowly, small bites and lots of chewing.
