Question:
What exactly is YMMV? I've seen that on several question posts

I don't know what it means. What does YMMV stand for?    — tinky471 (posted on September 2, 2003)

HUH? Your Mileage May Vary??? I still don't understand...what does it have to do with wt. loss surgery. Or is this a new "buzz phrase?"

It's meant to say that your experience (with whatever is being discussed: rate of weight loss, insurance approval, tolerance of certain foods, etc.) may be different from the experience of the person answering the question. Like: "This is how it went for me, however, your mileage - ie experience - may vary."

It means that not everyone loses weight at the same pace nor do they get the same "mileage" on their surgery. Some lose 80% of the weight they need to lose, some 100%, some 65%. Everyone doesn't lose 10lbs a month, some lose more, some less. Best regards,
