Please Excuse My Dumb Question...



Recommended Posts

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' date=' 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.[/quote']

Thanks Mis73! I've been wanting to ask this question. I find myself on this site all day long!

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). :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
