Edistogirl, good luck with your scheduling! My favorite NSV was being able to see my whole body in one panel of my bathroom medicine-chest mirror. It's a cabinet with three mirrored doors and I could never see my whole body either side to side or front to back in one panel. Now I can, and considering the room left over I'm blown away by how big I was! (I never took measurements "before"--too scary.)

Congratulations, froggy. Weight loss is wonderful, isn't it? I remember how excited I felt when I could fit into size 16s without the W! Over the years as I got fatter and fatter I had to give away clothes that I loved; now I am doing the same thing all over again but in reverse. My last big NSV was discovering that I can wear belts! Another thing to shop for. Oh goody!

Hi there, I am scheduled for my surgery on July 1st (revision from lapband to plication) so I can answer alot of your questions. Two questions: 1) What is NSV? no scale victory - 2) Does anyone have extremely serious regrets for having the surgery? well even with having to have a revision on my band - I don't regret it - lost 170 lbs - gained back 50lbs due to an enlarged pouch - but will have the plication and get back to my lowest weight in no time. Hope this was helpful. Donna in Seattle surgery lap band 3/2003 - scheduled for plication on July 1st with OCC TJ 310/145/200 and counting down again!

NSV means non-scale victory. ie fitting into a new size of clothing or someone making a remark about how you look. seeing yourself in a mirror and thinking it's someone else. being able to fit into the airplane seatbelts without an extender for the first time..

I just got home from my annual physical, clutching a month's worth of anti-hypertension meds my doctor wants me to try. Yup, I still have the borderline high blood pressure I have had all my life. Even the lost weight and increased activity hasn't changed that. So where's the NSV, you ask? The NSV is in my mind. All my life I've dreaded the blood-pressure discussion, because it was ALWAYS about my weight. So now, I know, it's NOT actually about my weight. The discussion today with my doctor was about my HEALTH, not about my WEIGHT. I left her office feeling supported and cared for, not attacked and accused. (Not that this doctor had ever done that--she's a wonderful doctor--but I've only been seeing her since a year before banding.) It's a whole new world...medical care the way "normal" people see it. Wow.

AMEN Leatha!! Thats exactly what an NSV is all about. Good for you on signing up for C&W dance

Lisa - NSV is anything that doesn't have to do with the scales. You get a compliment, clothes fit better, etc. It means non scale victory. Betty

Bornagainbabe replied to *susan*'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It feels great doesn't it? A few years ago I could only shop at one store in the UK, 'Evans', and then I was never very enthusiastic as I knew I was fat, ugly and it didn't really matter what I wore (in my mind anyway). Now I can avoid Evans and shop wherever I want (except for the tiny size zero stores obviously - bit old for those anyway now!) and choose what I like rather than black, black or black. Well done Susan and enjoy the shopping! *whispers* what is a NSV? -

LoserMama replied to Riss1908's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Riss you are so beautiful, too! And size 16s? That would be heaven. I can't imagine. I am in size 20's now, though, down from 24s and 26s, so that is pretty awesome. Last Chance Sue -- that is so awesome-- wearing the jeans again! Woohoo! My favorite NSVs: 1. Being able to wear my wedding rings I haven't worn in 10 years (guess I lost weight in my fingers first...LOL) 2. Shopping for a transitional wardrobe at an upscale thrift shop, and being able to buy all "normal" brands rather than just Lane Bryant brands and the such. Still plus size, sure, but before I was beyond the sizes that regular brands make. 3. Less to no pain in my knees going upstairs! -
Its Official I Never Have To Set Foot In A Plus Size Store Again
A New New Dawn replied to kyrasgrandma's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
So happy for you!! That's awesome!!!! I am teetering on that and beginning to get excited. I bought a couple XL shirts at NY&Co on black Friday. I was buying them for "the future" when they fit. To my amazement they fit already!! Now I just need to get this waste down a bit more so I can get in smaller pants. Congrats to you!!! Great NSV!!! -
A NSV is a Non-Scale Victory. And there will be plenty for all of us.

I went shopping today to Wally World and while I was there I figured I'd buy a shirt and pair of pants for future use when I lost more weight. I've worn a 3XL shirt for years and I had a 50 waist when I started my journey. Well, I bought an XL shirt and some size 40 Levis, thinking I'd be in them sooner or later. When I got home I thought I'd put them on just to see how much further I had to go and, OMG, they BOTH fit! (The down side is that I've got a closet full of expensive 3XL Tori Richards aloha shirts that I have bought in the islands over the past few years and they're just too big for me. Oh, well, I'll take the trade off!) One NSV is that I don't have to pay the surcharge for "extra size" clothes. The elation I felt when I put these clothes on was immeasurable and it wiped away any thought in my mind whether or not the sleeve was the right decision or not. For all you newbies and pre-op members, If you haven't felt it yet, you will!

Patrick, that is wonderful!!! Cody, NSV = Non scale Victory = good things. -
Congrats! I really appreciate the necklace nsv. I'm looking forward to that myself! Keep up the good work! Sam

I call that a major NSV! I feel great when I can just slide into a booth, no worry about if the table is bolted to the floor and can't be pushed far enough away from my gut! No longer living in fear of dreaded booth seat! :-P

Wow awesome my first NSV i think. -
Ooooh this is one of those frustrating NSV's that I can so totally relate to!!!! My normal size wedding ring was about a 5.5. About 6 months ago I had to stop wearing it, because it was too loose. I went and bought a "fake" ring in a size 5. Do you know how hard it is to find a piece of costume jewlery in size 5? Well now it spins around on my hand and is practically falling off as well. I'm guessing I'm about a size 4.5 now? But I've just been waiting to get closer to goal to have my wedding ring sized. But I miss it and I want to wear it. I say size it again...you DO NOT want to lose your ring again! Aaaargh...frustrating!

These past years i've been avoiding vacations.. and plane rides.. they are what nightmares are made of for me.. :ph34r: now.. I'm 7.5 months out and half way there to my goal weight.. and I'm hopping onto a plane to SFO tonight for the long weekend.. and hopefully.. this time i'll not be spilling over my fellow traveller's seat.. and the NSV part.. i was packing my bag last night.. and usually.. I would not know what to pack.. well.. it is not easy to find.. weather appropriate, good fitting and cute clothes.. and fit them in one bag! Yesterday.. I did not know what to pack.. there were so many options.. I packed a weeks worth of clothes.. and there's still some space left in my bag.. guess my clothes have been losing some weight too..

My feet didn't get smaller, just not so fat and swollen. So my feet aren't any shorter but my shoes swim on me now. I do love TJ Maxx and Ross. My personal motto is "Never pay full price for anything". I wish I had a Macy's close. I was quite excited finding a couple of tops on clearance at Kohl's. They are Vera Wangs. I have never been able to wear anything she made. Cool NSV.
