Differnce between PB and throwing up?

I know that throwing up can cause pouch dilation and band slippage but can PBing cause the same? Sometimes when I eat certain things, bites that are too big or as a result of eating too fast the food just comes right back up. I am working on this and I am getting better about it but I am a little scared of causing any complications. I appreciate any info or experience anyone else has!

The major difference is stomach bile/acid, and when you VOMIT your stomach spasms. A PB...no bile, and usually just the esophagus is spasming (as you know, it's a one-way conveyor belt and doesn't like it when things STOP...it wants food to move on through) I know some will tell you they PB all the time but depending on how far out you are post op and how often and how violently you PB it can cause issues. The occasional PB shouldn't cause a slip, but if you are so tight that you PB often, tell your doc.
