Hey everybody, You know that old saying about "assume" - when you do it, you make an ASS out of U and ME? Well that is what we are doing when we use all these acronyms. Let's be considerate of the new people (and a lot of the old folks!) who do not know what a pb is, or what an NSV is... know what I mean? It excludes the reader if he/she doesn't know that particular acronym.

It might be fun to create a lap-band glossary where we can post all this cool info. Anybody interested in helping me with this? And can anybody tell me what the #!*^$! an NSV is?

Hey Allie,

Go to the FAQs and References section and look in the thread called Abbreviations and What They Mean.

Ooops! LOL! Welcome to LBT Allie Lee, where acronyms RULE!!! It's comfy in here, I promise! You'll be short-handing with the rest of us before long, don't worry.

I know how you feel...I looked up the meanings and still type out everything!!! I don't even say the abbreviations when I speak to someone because THEN you have to explain it so it is just easier and more efficient to say it or type it. I think the only thing I have abbreviated on this message board is PB and that's only because the thought of having one is just so disgusting, the further away from it I am the better!!!

Hey guys, TYSM! I should have known you would already have a glossary somewhere, but I just CFI!!!

You guys are the best.
