I do a lot of work on weight-loss surgery (WLS) or bariatric-surgery sites and after a little while you start to see that people use short-cuts for the most commonly used words. But if you’re a newbie and don’t know these, it can be a load of double-dutch! I was recently asked what some of these abbreviations meant and came across this list – I’m sure it is be no means totally inclusive so if you have some to add then please don comment and we can have something much more comprehensive ….TY
