Abreviations NSV VSG WLS? What do these mean?

I am an RN so i know a lot of abreviations, but I've never heard of these. I think the Reux en Y (sp?) is RNY? but what are the ones in my topic title?

Let me know if you need anything else 

I switched physician and I was quite surprised no one in the office knew what VSG (vertical sleeve gastrectomy) meant, maybe it's an internet slang. They said they basically refer to it as the gastric sleeve. 

nsv- non scale victory

wls- weight loss surgery

vsg- vertical sleeve gastrectomy
