Is that how you say it? Lol

Any way I have a question ...

Is b-peing as bad as vomiting ?

For me the answer is no. When I pb it's not a violent puking. It just comes out like a slimy burp. Have u ever seen a dog when it starts to throw up? It reminds me of that. When I pb ( productive burping) which I very seldom do. U can't hear me. If I puke, the whole world can hear me I don't heave when I pb

It's PB and I agree with Suzanne, it's not as bad but if you do this with every meal you could dilate your pouch and or esophogus.

Ah ok !

So it's not as bad... But it's not good... Right?

It's a sign that something is wrong, not necessarily that your band is too tight, but that you may have eaten a bit too much, too fast or didn't chew enough. If it happens a lot or appears to be getting worse, you need to see your band doctor.

PBing isn't violent, but if I have to, at least, I can't stop it. I have had to have the car pulled over so I could get out to do it. Sometimes, its just alittle, usually PBing is a lot of phlem coming up!

If I PB, it usually hurts my chest quite a bit. I don't enjoy it. I haven't had a vomit episode with the band yet. I am very careful. I had to pull over this weekend, it kind of sucked. My son laughed at me. Isn't he sweet.

Thanks everyone

I had a fill this past Monday I'm at 5.5cc

I think I need to learn how to eat slow ... I've had a bp episode every day I was worried but I think I know the problem now... I'm eating to fast!

I bp but it is just a burp and nothing more, I have not thrown up and I am careful to and stop when I feel full

_{I have been burping up foamy slime every time I eat, usually about two bites into a meal, I feel like I have food stuck but after this nasty foamy stuff comes up I seem to be able to eat fine. This even happens when I eat yogurt so I know it's not because I don't chew enough. I can't go out to eat or eat with people because I know I'll have this problem, I also burp ALOT!! Any suggestions, comments, help??? Thank You all sooooo much!!}

@@Janie Altman Bennett how long have you been banded?

Sometimes if your band is too tight you will have trouble swallowing even your own saliva and that can cause a nasty back up we call slime. I have had this happen to me before when I get sick and my band is too tight. I will take some Fluid out until I am better so that eating and drinking is not such a struggle, and I find that if I don't and I battle through it I don't recover and heal as quickly.

I can't advise since I don't know if you are a new surgery patient or have had your band for a while. Either way I would call your Dr. and see what their advice is taking out a tiny bit of fluid may be all you need.

Hi, I have been banded since May 15, 2015, I only have issues for the first few bites then food goes down fine. Thanks for answering!!

Two years out and I'm still having trouble convincing my family that a PB is not a vomit and they don't need to freak out. I'm not sick, I don't need to have the band removed. I just took a bite of the Olive Garden bread stick that I used love so much! Sigh.... Lol!
