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

Can someone help a newbie out and possible future Newbies in understanding some of your slang that you use by replying with abbreviations or slang terms taht are used here. I will compile a list after we have gathered a few

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
