I am sure there must be lots of threads about Pb'ing but guess it probably isn't in the title.

A Pb is when you bring back up food and saliva. Some also refer to slimeing as if no food, just saliva comes back up.

This differs to vomiting as the food has sat on top of the band and has not mixed with any digestive juices or broken down in any way.

To avoid it (it isn't pleasant and isn't good for you) eat very slowly and chew chew chew. Having said that most bandsters will Pb at some time or other so don't worry too much if it haapens, just don't let it become a habit.

Hope that helps and someone else might be along who can give a better explaination.

The P is for productive and the B is for burp. Lovely isn't it?? Hopefully you will never do it.

Burps that help. Believe me, I remember when I began to eat a little after surgery, I really wanted to burp, but couldn't. That feeling eventually left me. The first 6 weeks is a healing time. Then afterwards, when you get a fill, your band is tight, and I drank just a little Water, and it all started sliming back up my throat and out. But that, too, stopped after the 2nd day after the filll. To me, as I look back, I see how the LB is a learn as you go along process. Something like sliming happens to you once, and then you don't do that again, Or not chewing well enough causes a tightness in your throat, and you're more careful not to let that happen again. So, don't worry, you'll be fine. :thumbup:
