Help with Lap-Band terminology

[finallyonmyway 0]

Hi everyone,

I've been banded for one-month now (9/1) and am scheduled for a fill on 10/16. I've been enjoying the discussions, but am puzzled by two terms that I don't understand. Since I haven't had a fill yet, I don't know what "sliming" is. Also, don't know what "PBing" is?

Can someone please explain? I would appreciate it. :help: :help:

PB is when the food you've eaten gets stuck and doesn't come past the band. It then comes back up into your mouth. It doesn't contain stomach acid so it doesn't taste like throwup. PB stands for Productive Burp.

Sliming is when something gets stuck and your body is trying to get it down by creating a lot of saliva which should help the stuck food go down. I hear it's very unpleasant.

I am not banded and the answers I gave you are things that I read on this forum
