Please Excuse My Dumb Question...

But what is PBing? I keep seeing people talk about it, but I'm clueless. Does it mean throwing up?

    Not a dumb question at all :)

    PBing is Productive Burping. It's a gentle, non-violent or forceful way of bringing stuck food back up. Unlike vomiting which causes stomach retching and is violent. It's "burping" food back up.

    Dee, I did that with my Prilosec capsule yesterday. Got it out of medicine bottle threw it in my mouth & took a swallow of water,7 days post op. Then the thought oh geez what did I do. It turned out well, found out I don't have to open it and swallow a bunch of beads. And took my B/P medicine last night without crushing. YAY!

    LOL, I had the same questions when I came on this forum... I had to ask what all the acronyms meant. I didn't know what NSV meant either (which is a non-scale victory). :)
