| WELCOME TO ALL NEW FORUM USERS - PART 2: Some frequently used abbreviations you may see on this forum: Bandster/Bandit - A person who has undergone banding. B u m p/Bringing Forward/BTT - This means to bring a thread/topic to the top of the front page. THREAD - A thread is a topic PB - Productive Burp - This is a 'bandster' term that refers to the regurgitation that most bandsters will experience at least once in their bandster lives when we've eaten more or larger pieces than can be passed through the stoma (small entrance to the stomach). Since the food has not been digested, there is no odour, stomach acid, or retching involved but there may be a varying degree of phlegm that accompanies it. PB episodes may last anywhere from 1 minute to two hours, depending on the individual and circumstances. After a PB episode, under most circumstances, it's best to refrain from eating at that meal and let the stoma rest. If it is happening constantly it may be a good idea to try going on fluids for 24 hours to see if the inflammation goes down. If not, you must see your doctor. NSV - Non Scale Victory � A victory that is celebrated by not being weighed e.g. being able to cross your legs, jeans that were too small for you now fit, when flying not having to ask for an extender seatbelt. YAHOO has a glitch in their system that causes threads/topics to disappear when they reach the bottom of page 1 and are being transferred to page 2. They eventually reappear but it's known for them to take a day or two to do so. Therefore it is advisable to save any thread that you would like to frequently use in your bookmarks or favourites. You will sometimes see s p a c e d words. Yahoo is quite touchy, & thinks that some innocent words are profanities! Thank you. |

| Deb, The doctor was ill informed, most of us can eat the same foods we did before banding but less of them. Check out General Chat http://au.messages.yahoo.com/health/lap-band/10396 9/ and everyone there will be happy to chat with you. Pyretta |

| Hi I'm thinking of having LapBand surgery but when I saw a surgeon years ago he said that you have to eat salad and stuff afterwards and I thought if I could do that I wouldn't need surgery in the first place. I have no self control and am addicted to chocolate I am so worried that I will blow it afterwards by being naughty. How have others coped? from "Oh dear" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
