abbreviations

Good Afternoon,

I'm new to the site and have been reading over a lot of different posts.  Is there anywhere that has all the abbreviations that are used?  I get so lost sometimes because I have no idea what is being talked about.  Like what is an "NSV"? 

I'm in the process of scheduling my surgery so I plan to be on here a lot in the future.

NSV= non scale victory.  It's kinda tricky when your first come on here huh..

Hi neighbor!  Prairieville, LA here!       Yeh, i'm kinda with ya on those abbreviations and i've joined this over a yr ago, but haven't been consistent online.

I do have a question for people.  Who is my "NUT"?  Is that the doc or dietician or what?  And is that a "good" term or not?  And where did it come from? 

Oh, Kris, i know the most popular (i think).  Don't know if u know these or not.

WLS= Weight Loss Surgery
VSG= Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy

I am pretty sure ( at least it means it for me) that NUT is nutritionist. Not positive or negative, just shorter to type, lol...

There is a list of common abbreviations at: http://www.obesityhelp.com/content/messageboardlingo.html

Hope this helps, and welcome to the site!

Thank you all so much!  All of this was so helpful.  I can see that this is going to be a lifeline before and after surgery.

I have been on here a few months and I still don't know all of them but I learn eventually.  I think NSV means "non-scale victory"....somebody correct me if I am wrong...
