RayLandry 18 Posted November 15, 2005 Before, I never gave much thought to the NSV's that everyone talks about. But before, I was enjoying consistent genuine scale victories, so I wasn't in tuned with the importance of a NSV! Well, I have kinda hit a wall at losing the pounds,but my recent NSV has giving me positive reinforcement to my whole Lapband experience! My job requires a yearly check up that includes: eyesight, hearing and blood pressure. Last year my blood presure was 164/94. The nurse made me lay down to see if my BP would drop a little before she would allow me to get back to work. It only dropped very little, but I had to agree to get it checked by my PCP. Well today I had my annual physical and my BP was 122/ 76. How cool is that! The weight loss and the exercising that I am doing are really paying dividends! One side note..............during the hearing test, we are placed into a soundproof hearing chamber. During the test, I could hear my stomach making some really weird gurgly noises! Noises that up until now, I wasn't aware that were happening! I mean some funny sounding noises! Anyone else ever heard their tummy "sing" like this? I was cracking myself up just listening!

piercedqt78 658 Posted November 23, 2005 Those are all great NSV's, I am so happy for you. I am always telling my band that it's ok and it doesn't need to cry, I am aware it is there, I am the opposite of everyone else, I gurggle when I am hungry.~Mandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdMan 0 Posted November 26, 2005 What is an NSV? I'm new and see it mentioned everywhere but I guess everyone else knows what it means. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piercedqt78 658 Posted November 26, 2005 NSV = Non scale Victory (something great that does not have anything to do with weight/numbers) Here is a link to a post with other helpful terms: http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=7959 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
