Ok I guess I am the first to answer. Since I just did this less then a half hour ago I should be able to describe it well!

If you eat to fast, or take to much and don't chew enough, the food gets stuck in your band.

Now when this happens to me I get a pain and pressure in my chest, I then begin to slime meaning my stomach creates extra saliva to try to lubricate the food to go through the band and into my stomach. As a result of this your mouth states to Water to the point that you need to spit it out.

Pb'ing is what ever is stuck in your band coming back out. Nuff said?

thanks for telling me, it sounds revolting! I will make sure I chew my food well and eat slow!

Not fun...either one!!! CHEW CHEW CHEW!

Not only do you get huge gobs of saliva that you have to spit out, but your stomach makes more mucus stuff that is going to come up whether you want it to or not. It's like hacking up a HUGE lugie. Gross, but true. That's the reason for chew, chew, chew.

Yes, chew.........................this is the worst to me. Had this experience today and I thought I was going to die. My daughter and I were out to eat. Once, something gets stuck and that huge elephant sits on your chest, it's down hill from there. So, please chew and remember to take it slow.

thanks everyone for replying. I'm glad I know!
