Lost My LapBand Decoder Ring

November 18, 2005

Hey everybody, You know that old saying about "assume" - when you do it, you make an ASS out of U and ME? Well that is what we are doing when we use all these acronyms. Let's be considerate of the new people (and a lot of the old folks!) who do not know what a pb is, or what an NSV is... know what I mean? It excludes the reader if he/she doesn't know that particular acronym.

It might be fun to create a lap-band glossary where we can post all this cool info. Anybody interested in helping me with this? And can anybody tell me what the #!*^$! an NSV is?

Hey Allie,

Go to the FAQs and References section and look in the thread called Abbreviations and What They Mean.

I know how you feel...I looked up the meanings and still type out everything!!! I don't even say the abbreviations when I speak to someone because THEN you have to explain it so it is just easier and more efficient to say it or type it. I think the only thing I have abbreviated on this message board is PB and that's only because the thought of having one is just so disgusting, the further away from it I am the better!!!
