Question:
What does the abbreviations DS, DH and PB mean?

I have been reading the msgs & postings and need to know what these mean to fully appreciate the information. Thank You!    — anjelica4 (posted on October 27, 2006)

DS- duodenal switch. This is the surgical weight loss treatment that offers the greatest weight loss. DH- "Dear Husband" (sometimes actually used sincerely). PB- for lapbanders, the "PB" is a productive burp.

Dh usually means Dear/DArling or not so nice Husband. DS can mean the same with Son, but I suspect you are referring to the surgery type, BPD/DS in which case the DS part refers to duodenal swtich. PB? When I use it, it means peanut butter, but not sure which post you saw.

"DH" could also mean "dunder-head" . . .and, Michelle is right, for many of us RNY-ers, "PB" is usually peanut butter and "CIB" is Carnation Instant Breakfast.
