vinesqueen 2 Posted July 14, 2005 Major NSV time! I had to get a pair of Khakis for my trip to NY this weekend. I was told "brown khakis" which don't really exsist... Anyway, I digress. I tried on a pair of 22, thinking they might fit. Nope, too baggy. I tried on a pair of 20s! They were on the baggy side! I got a pair of 18s, and they fit! I fit into a size 18 today!!!!! Okay, I didn't buy them because they were not pretty, but I could put them on! Oh my gawd, oh my gawd, oh my gawd! A size 18! I haven't been able to squeeze my pretty little self into a size 18 since my baby was small! Oh sure, my jeans aren't a size 20, but still! It looks like I'll be bringing some clothes to the Las Vegas Bash after all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parvathi 2 Posted July 14, 2005 Well done, vinesqueen!! Makes you want to go shopping more, doesn't it hehe Just out of curiosity - what is NSV? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobalooey 0 Posted July 14, 2005 Parvathi, For an explanation of all the freaking abbreviations they use on this site, check out the thread at: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showpost.php?p=86346&postcount=1 It took me over a week to find this and prior to that my imagination ran away with itself trying to figure out what NSV was. DH was another one that I thought stood for D*** Head (which my wife occasionally refers to me with). And for the life of me I thought this Aunt Flo everybody was talking about was some pain-in-the-ass lady who lurked on this web site and then went visiting Lap-Banders uninvited and hung out there for a few days before moving on to somebody else. I vowed to not give out my address on this site for fear she'd be knocking on my door next!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justbeingme 1 Posted July 14, 2005 Bobalooey! That is too funny. I, myself couldn't find out NSV for a little while, but didn't think to much of it.

seppi 0 Posted July 14, 2005 Cool-And good for you, I probably would have bought them just because of the size. Now you can look for a really pretty pair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mousecrazy 2 Posted July 14, 2005 I know the thrill you feel, but it's been quite a while for me, too. I wear a 24, well most of the time, and I am way too close to 26. Aside from being able to walk without pain, going down to the "teens" in sizing is my most anticipated goal! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Cindy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
