Can you tell me what the abbreviations mean??



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am brand new both to the site and as a band patient. I have seen a few abbreviations on this site and was wondering if anyone could help to decode them. For instance I see "PBing" quite a bit and I haven't figured it out yet. Thanks, Shawna:confused:

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
