We need a complete list of acronyms used here. Please assist by placing out some suggestions. I will give it a weeks time and compile the list. I will also pin it so it's easy to find in THIS forum (most used)

Thanks in advance to all helping out!!

For WLS

AGB = adjustable gastric band (like the lap-band, but not brand name)

RNY = Roux en Y

BMI = Body mass index

BMR = Basal metabolic rate

PPI = proton pump inhibitor

PB = productive burp (I know it's a band thing, and a horribly misleading name, but it has come up in the revisions forum)

NSAID = Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory

Not an abbreviation (lots of these aren't) but sliming - excessive saliva production

Like above, foaming/foamies - saliva that has been "churned" in the esophagus and comes in looking like soap foam or Shampoo lather

NSV - non-scale victory, a general well being victory that does not involve your weight (clothing fitting looser, a nice compliment, walking X stairs without getting winded, etc.)

I'll think of more later, I know there's a bunch.

More just conversational...

The family ones - DD, DA, DH, MIL, FIL, SIL... where does it end? Second cousin twice removed? SCTR? Bah.

HTH = hope this helps

IIRC = if I remember correctly

AFAIK = as far as I know

IMO/IME = in my opinion/in my experience

IMHO/IMHE = in my humble opinion/in my humble experience

YOLO = you only live once

ITA = I totally agree

FWIW = for what it's worth

BTW = by the way

FTW = for the win

KWIM = know what I mean

WWYD = what would you do

SAHW = stay at home wife

SAHM = stay at home mom

RHO...= real housewives of...
