I am very nervous about having my first PB. How long after you eat something that doesn't sit well do you feel the need to pb? Is it immediate or like an hour later? I'm almost 2 weeks post-op and will soon be starting more solid foods and would like to know before I venture out what to expect. Would I have time to get to a bathroom?

I didn't have my first PB until after my first fill. Before that I didn't have much restriction. I usually feel a stuck sensation, and if i wait a little while it goes down, otherwise I have to PB. I always have time to get to a bathroom.

But how soon after you eat the food that you have to pb? Is it immediate or does it take a while to go down and give you signs that its stuck?

Usually it is right after I have eaten something. Often, I haven't even finished eating (of course, maybe that's the problem!) Lots of times I can avoid a pb incident if I get out and walk a lot. That kind of shakes things down and loose.

Believe me, you will know when it doesn't want to go down, like right away. I always get in trouble when I'm eating something that I really like and want just one more bite. Otherwise, I've learned to try to avoid the things that get stuck, like chicken breast (kind of dry sometimes) and chew really well and eat slow.

Okay, I'm a newbie here and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. What is a PB? Thanks for the help. :lol:

I also am concerned about this PB. Does it happen just because something can't get through the band or once you have eaten to much and it is backing up into your esophagus?

I am not sure what the PB stands for although I have seen it on here several times. It is something to do with burping and you "puke" until the caught item comes up. However, it is not puking with stomach acid because it has never reached your stomach..

      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!
