PBing or Vomitting after sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in December and have been lucky enough to have escaped throwing up. I was wondering if it like PBing (productive burping) where it has no bile, or is it like regular throwing up?

The only time I ever threw up was after taking "that one last bite" before I figured out my full signal, and when I was eyeballing portions. I never experienced full on vomiting either. It was more like that "one last bite" came back up and that was it. No sliming, no foam, just that creeper bite sneaking back up.

I ate some salmon that didn't agree with me AT ALL and full-out vomited. I was surprised, I didn't think I had enough stomach left for the upward contractions to occur, but they sure did.

For me it was that one bite too many also,, no gut wrenching just the bite that was too much slid right on out and OHHH the relief!

I am 3 months out and I luckily haven't had any vomitting or PBing at all and I sure hope I don't!!

I have had a couple of episodes of vomitting...I am still learning to eat slower...basically it is just the very last bite that you took comes back up. No bile or anything. Just a tiny bit of undigested food that comes up. I think when you eat that last bite too many it sits high in your esophagus which is why it comes up nice and easy. Though I usually feel yucky for about an hour until my sleeve makes room.

Tiff explained it really well. It's a "creeper bite" that comes back up. It's only happened to me once, and it was my fault for not measuring my portion. I think if you watch your portion size, you should be fine.

Ooooh, I hate to throw up. I'm almost 4 months out and never once has something come back up. I did eat one bite too many early on (homemade turkey meatballs) and I experienced the sweats and lightheaded, and *thought* for about 20 minutes something was going to come back, but it never did, and my sleeve pushed everything through.

I don't think it is too rare to find a sleever who hasn't tossed anything up the tube yet. I am pretty sure it is a very common experience with the band. (Just from reading, not from experience!)

I've never had anything come back up with the sleeve, but constantly had problems when I had the band. Life is good now!

Funny, before reading this, I just posted about my first "sliming" experience. I ate some hamburger meat that my sleeve didn't like. It all came up. That is the ONLY time it has happened. I am thinking maybe I didn't chew it well enough, but who knows?

TMI coming your way!

Lucky for me when I slime (so far) I don't puke, I just cant swallow anything else, and my mouth fills up with thicker than saliva "slime" that I spit out. After a few spits, usually the sensation goes away... but can't eat anything for a while... The last time this happened, I only had one spoon of cream of broccoli soup... and started sliming... so it didn't take much or even eating fast... the Soup did taste horrible....what the sleeve wants to do, the sleeve does....

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
