Hey guys!

I'm pretty new here...I mostly stalk. I'm just waiting for my insurance approval. I am VERY curious about the little names and acronyms from certain things related to lap band...I have no idea what people are talking about! For example, what is "PB'ing"? Stuff like that....

Please list as many little bits of jargon only banders know and let me in on this whole new world I'll be experiening shortly. I can't find a defintion page or anything for lap band terms. Thanks in advance for everyone's input! have a great one

I agree. I am also new and it would be helpful to understand the acronyms in simple English.

Also, what's this "Victorious Valentine" and "New Year Knock-Out" stuff? Anyone wanna share?

Basically these group names are for the month you get banded. Since I'm getting banded in February there is a group (go to home, and towards the very bottom it has like support groups with month and year).. Whichever month you get banded you go to that month group and everybody gives suggestions for a name for that group and then you vote on the name. I voted for Fab-U-Less Febs, but that name didn't get picked.. urrggg, oh well.. anyway.. it's usually a name that is sort of uplifting and tied in with your month and losing weight.. that group of people sort of becomes like a family to you or a big support group. Now, there are folks who don't join their "banded month" group and that's fine too. We all support each other (mostly).
