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.. :rolleyes:

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.)

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!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
