I am starting to see a couple folks say at one point in time they disliked their band. How many of you at some point after your surgery disliked your bands? This is important i think to those who either just got their bands or are planning to. I often wonder if when i get my surgery if i will hate my band at some point. I think it would be helpful to hear if others, at some point, disliked their bands but then came to love them later on. This way if i happen to experience that i can just push through until i love it! Hope that makes sense. I am not even sure it makes sense to me the way i wrote it. . Hope everyone is doing well.

Nope, love my band. Don't like PB'ing or getting stuck, but the easy way to avoid that is follow the rules.

I've seen people use the term PB or PBing, but can someone please explain what that means?

Mobility: sacroiliac dysfunction and spinal stenosis at L4-L5. I've been on disability since 2/07.

Any surgery for stenosis? Curious because my husband is still working full time 2 years post op. L4/5 and some disk issues. Stenosis was so bad he was almost in a wheel chair.

PBing is where you either get stuck or eat too fast and the food backs up into the esophagus, which as my Dr. calls it is the"No loitering zone", so it comes back up. It isn't violent like vomiting and there are no stomach contractions.
