Since I am new to this subject and website...(banded Friday, July 12)...I am reading abbreviations and acronyms for the first time ever. I think I just figured out that "onederland" must mean a weight under 200. Is that right? Can anyone throw out some abbreviations and their meanings so I can Celebrate your successes with you? I am starting to feel less of an outsider with my nose pressed up against the glass looking in...lol!

NSV is non scale victory. Something changes due to your weight loss. Crossing your legs, sitting in a chair and your hips don't rub the sides. Things like that.

PB is productive burp. When you eat too big a bit, don't chew enough and/or eat too fast you salivate and spit up similar to a baby spitting up.

Those are the 2 used a lot.

Congrats on your surgery and good luck.

Congrats on being banded ! Yes, Onederland means 199 or below, ( Like the old Toyota truck commercial says " Oh what a feeling !!!!! " ), WSL means weight loss surgery, NSV means a Non scale Victory, (like your pants getting looser but it doesn't show up on the scale) etc.............. Anyone else have some ?

Bandster Hell is the time period between when you're banded and when you have adequate Fluid in your band. The reason is, it take most people multiple fills so before they hit that "sweet spot" you get little help from your band...hence bandster hell.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer, Missy. One other thing, I would like to include on my ticker (or maybe a 2nd ticker) how long I have been banded and/or my BMI. When I tried to create a second ticker, it took my "weight ticker" off. I notice you have BMI and weight included on yours. Also, how do you post your motivational quotes?

My ticker isn't from this site. See, we used to be able to use outside ones but they bogged down the server so now we can't. But, I don't care for the styles on this site so I still use my old ticker and just screen shot it to post on my signature line here. I know, tedious and time consuming, but I like my ticker lol.

The quotes are in my signature, too. If you go to "edit profile" then under "settings" you'll see a tab for "signature". That's where I put the quotes :)

NSV= Non scale Victory

What is a plication? I thought it was complication and someone's spell check wasn't working but I've seen it a lot.

Plication is a new procedure where they fold your stomach and staple it together. It makes your stomach smaller. They usually do it with the band, but most insurances do not cover it so you have to do self pay for that one. I wanted it done but my Dr.'s office had not heard of it yet, that is how new it is.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
