What do all the abbreviations mean?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I see so many abbreviations on here I was wondering what some mean. RNY, DS,  are only two I can think of at the moment, but if you know of some others please let me know those too.

Thanks so much!

No problem!
WLS is weight Loss Surgery
RNY is - Roux - en -Y (gastric bypass)
DS is duodenal switch (another tpe of procedure)
VS is Verticle sleev, yet another procedure.

Thats all I can think of right now. If you see more you don't recognize, just add em here and I'll fill you in! Hope this helps!
Thanks for asking, as I know before I knew what it all meant I felt really lost!
Hugs!
