Hello All,

I've read much about the dreaded PB. My question is, how long from the time of food consumption until the PB occurs? I just had a slice of pizza Hut pizza, and was able to eat the whole thing, crust and all.

My question is, if I'm going to experience a PB, how long will I have to wait? Right now, I feel fine. I'm a little full from the pizza, but don't feel anything horrible.

Thanks for your all your help!

I've been banded for over 2 months and had my first one today. It wasn't as bad as I thought but pretty painful. I had called yesterday and scheduled a fill for tomorrow because I could eat bread, steak, or anything and don't you know it today I pb'd. I was eating a piece of toast with peanut butter for which I do everyday. I noticed about half way through my chest got tight but I just kept on eating like an idiot. Then the chest pain got horrible. I tried the yoga positions, I tried raising my arms, I tried walking and when I walked into the bathroom it was like projectile vomiting, sorry if gross but within 30 seconds it was up and relief was there instantly. It wasn't at all like vomiting before the band. It wasn't bad at all. Man, relief felt so good. Hope you don't ever have to do it but schedule a fill and I bet you will. LOL

Normally, if you are going to pb, it happens while you are eating the food. And, you will know immediately that it is happening. If you are already done eating and not feeling any pain or pressure, then you should be fine.

Sometimes, if I have eaten a bit too much, or something "iffy", and then drink too soon afterward, I will PB.

I have been banded for 4 weeks, I am clueless to what PBing is. I have not had a fill yet, but I do get the swallowing a golf ball feeling in my chest sometimes. So is PB's, just vomiting? :help:

When you PB, the problem food comes back up.

I have been banded since January and I have not pbd yet. Not that I want to. But I can eat bread, steak or anything I want and it has never come back up. It makes me wonder if I am not tight enough. Maybe I need another fill. Are there others people like this. I have been told that if I can eat bread and meat ok that I need a fill. What do you think?

I have not had my first fill yet, so I can eat a small amount of bread, mostly in dry form (toast, crusty breads). I really don't do a lot of red meat, not because I am this really healthy person; chicken and fish cook way faster. I have to be for real, I could have used a fill 2 weeks after my band went in. Get a fill, sounds like we both need one.
