Me, too! I never had reflux pre-band. However, when I had reflux post-band I was super-restricted. Since post-op swelling has gone down and I have settled in with my little band friend, no problems with reflux. It's the only thing that worries me about getting a fill in a few weeks. We'll see. Great NSV, Chicagoboy! I'm so glad for you, too!

I am fairly new here too, but I can tell you what the lingo means.... DH = dear husband PB = productive burp (I could explain, but I would rather someone who has experience explain it!) NSV = Non-scale victory (like being able to cross your legs, or fitting into a booth at a restaurant, etc.) Hope this helps....and welcome! ME in WI

Gosh THANK YOU! I've been wondering FOREVER what NSV meant but was too embarrassed to ask! I won't share all the things I came up with in my head!!!!! lololololol!!!!!! -
If my sisters ins covered it I think she'd be in a program already. If I keep things going I could see her self paying. She is just so impressed with my progress. Seeing success stories, in person or on here, is a large pat of why most of us took the plunge. Your NSV is being a success.

That is truly amazing!!! What a wonderful NSV! I can't wait to enjoy those same experiences. Congrats!

Lisa, I try to go to the gym at least 4 times a week. However, for now, I'm sticking to the treadmill for an hour at 2.5 and incline of 2.0-2.5. That may not be a lot for others but for someone who hates exercise, it's a big accomplishment. My lapband doctor has been encouraging me from day 1 to exercise. I trust him, so I listen and take his advice. Yet, in two weeks, I haven't lost any weight! But I've had NSV moments.

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would do a progress report. I started at 270 lbs. and am now 222! I have lost a total of 48 lbs and could not be happier with my decision to have the sleeve. I am wearing clothes that have been packed away for over 2 years. I feel so much better!! I can get my wedding rings on my finger again!! My best NSV so far was about a week ago. We have a really small bathroom and while I was in Front of the mirror getting ready for work my husband went to squeeze by me to use the bathroom and instead of squeezing through like he use to do he just walked right behind me. He stopped and was like wow!! Thats proof of how much smaller you are!! It really made me feel good!!

Was in Nashville for a dr's appt and afterwards mom and I made a quick stop at Stein Mart, woohoo, my fav, and what ya know I tried on a 2X top and it was too big so I then tried on the 1X and it fit, I bought it, yay. I couldn't believe it. A year ago I couldn't hardly wear anything from there I was growing out of their clothes I was getting so big, I mean my eating was out of control pre op that my weight was getting out of control on me. I was so excited, it was a good feeling. On another note, as some of you know my brother's cancer is back and today was suppose to start his aggressive chemo but they put it off till Friday so he went on and worked. He lives and works in Nashville drives a Semi for a National trucking company but drives local. Today he was involved in a bad accident, it was raining and 2 cars hydroplaned, one went airborne then skidded into his trailer and went under his trailer and he ended up dragging this car till he could get stopped. crushed the passenger side, luckily no one was in the passenger side, no loss of life. I'm thankful no one died or was injured very bad. He was shook up pretty bad as he takes life seriously as well as others and it upset him to think it could have ended up tragic. Thanking God right now.

I am 9 weeks out from surgery and down 32 lbs and obviously lots of inches !!!! So happy I did this for myself!!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

My sister and I were at K Mart today. They had a lot of sales. We saw the bathing suits and decided that we needed new bathing suits since our weight loss. We tried on a size 14 and a size 12. (last year we wore 1X or 2X) I was thrilled that I could wear a size 12. So I bought that little leopard print size 12 and took it home. I even modeled it for my DH.:clap2: I have been floating on a cloud ever since. I never dreamed that I would be in size 12 again. The last time I wore a size 12 was 18 years ago. What a great feeling! The band works!

So I work with kids all day and have always wanted to wear a Halloween costume that was premade to work because everyone else could but I had to always make my own because I couldn't fit. Well no longer my friends.....I know it's such a small thing, but it means the world to me!

Huge NSV. Celebrate them all.

My latest NSV was when I realized that I have gone into the fabulous little bakery that is at my office complex to get my daily non-fat latte and breathed in the great-smelling (and tasting!) pastries and not purchased one over the last 4 months since surgery. Have been some days where I was tempted, but wasn't (too) difficult to tell myself "no". Nice to be making mindful choices that support a healthy lifestyle
