Please Help With All Of YouR Good Advice. I Really Enjoy This Website It Has Really Answered Alot Of My Questions. One More Question What Does Pb Mean? Thanks Again. Jennifer

Congratulations, Jennifer! Did your band surgeon give you written instructions of what to eat and what to expect with your band? If you do a "search" (at top of the page),you should be able to find several suggestions of food ideas. But you really need to check w/your dr. for his/her specific rules to be sure.

Please "search" for a variety of band issues so you'll have an idea what to expect. Best of luck to you!

PB means "productive burp" -- a lot like baby spitup --undigested food that gets trapped and comes back up (like vomiting). It's usually caused from eating too quickly and/or taking too big a bite. A bite should be no larger than the eraser at the end of a pencil. Pbing can also be caused from being filled too tightly (and that is usually relieved by a slight unfill.)
