I keep seeing posts with pb and don't know what it means... I'm assuming it's bad, maybe vomiting? Please inform...

No, it's not vomiting....

What happens when a newborn baby finishes eating, and you put him/her on your shoulder to burp? And they spit up what did not go all the way down? That's productive....

Same with being banded...you eat too much to fast,..more than the band/pouch can handle, and you burp - spit up what did not, could not, pass through the band....your cup over floweth...

It is not a bad thing, other than we all need to learn to eat differently with the band and this is an indication we are not....

But we are not newborns, so it is a little more dramatic and not just milk or formula.....

Technically it is called regurgitation....PB is slang...and my Dr. was quite amused with the term...

I have NEVER vomited because of the band...although I regurgitated more times than I can remember until I finally figured it all out....now I can't remember the last time I did. Although I do recognize the warning signs and kow what to do....

Vomiting is something that happens from the stomach, below the band.....and not related at all.....
