Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Howdy all!
Please help me make a list of abv we use often on this site (Or if you know of one that already exists, that would be cool!). Once I have a bunch together I will post them into one post for our new folks to refer to.
Here are the ones I know off the top of my head:
Onederland = weigh less that 200 lbs
twooterville = weigh less than 300 lbs
I know there is one for getting under 400 lbs, but I don't know what it is...
NSV = non scale victory
SV = scale victory
INS = insurance company
WLS = weight loss surgery
RNY = roux-en-y surgery
NUT = nutritionist or dietitian
PCP = primary care physician
DH = dear hubby or darn hubby, depending upon context
DW = same as DH except for wife :)
DS = dear son (or darn son)
DD = dear daughter (or darn daughter)
DP = dear partner (or darn partner)
WW = Weight Watchers
Please add the ones you can think of!! :)
