As a new member here at LapbandTalk i had found it kind of interesting the abbreviations people use that i have never heard of. A couple of those are -

PB : Productive Burp

DW : Dear Wife

DH : Dear Husband

Sliming : Another version of PB

Foamies : Barfing Foam:sick

O GREAT ty kimmie i was looking for this earlier this is a great reference

anytime!!

sliming and PB arent the same thing...

sliming is just saliva not going down..

a PB is when something actually comes back up.

Yes, but a PB is when you throw up food that refuses to go down... not salvia. Saliva coming up... stringy or not... is just sliming... until the food comes back up with it... then you've "produced" something.

aka a productive burp PB

That is the difference.

The problem here is that we aren't dealing with real medical terms that have any kind of actual definition. We're dealing with terms that someone somehwere (probably someone online) made up, and to different people it means different things. There is no "right".

To me a PB is when something is forcibly ejected from the esophagus... or perhaps not so forcibly, but still ejected. It doesn't matter if it's food matter or just slime, or foam, or whatever else gets brewed up down there... if I have to yak it up, it's a PB. Sometimes I PB food pieces, sometimes I PB saliva, sometimes I PB foam.

And sliming to me is when I am heavily salivating, even if it doesn't come back up. If it's producing at thicker/more than normal, I'm sliming. If I have to keep swallowing or spitting, I'm sliming.
