I love, love, love reading all of everyone's posts. I'm kinda new to the board stuff though and haven't learned all the lingo. Could someone please tell me what NSV means? I'm assuming it's something good.

BTW, I got my "self-pay packet" from Dr. Ponce's office today and as soon as I fax it in, I can schedule my surgery date. I am so excited.

You guys are an awesome inspiration and a great source of REAL information (as well as some just for fun info). You can't live without that. Reading all these hilarious posts reminds me of my best friends and how we laugh so hard together that we wet our pants!

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..

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.)

Thanks for the info. I am definitely looking forward to some of those.

O.K. Edistogirl, one word, "Depends". :rolleyes:

Hey, can't wait to have you join the "Bandwagon"!

Unfortunately I am familiar with "Depends." I'm hoping some of that will go away when I get skinnier.

Hopefully I will have a date for surgery sometime this week. Yeah!!!
