Pbaddy's definitions
Any of several surgical procedures designed to produce substantial weight reduction in obese patients refractory to conventional measures.
Current options for weight loss surgery include the following:
1. Gastric bypass, in which the esophagus is essentially connected directly to the small intestine. This reduces caloric intake at the expense of considerable potential adverse effects.
2.Gastric banding, also referrred to as bariatric surgery, compresses the stomach by means of an external mechanical device. Appetite and capacity are reduced resulting in gradual weight loss.
3.Above-knee amputation produces weight reduction in a biphasic pattern. The immediate post-operative drop is supplemented by a long-term increase in caloric expenditure derived from hopping.

Get the weight loss surgerymug. That rare mix of confidence and razor skills that makes bald with beard come off as a style choice rather than a personal calamity.

URBAN DICTIONARY GATE KEEPER: You must repeat the word revisionary in the example.
PBADDY: But it's redundant. Shame there's no way around it.

Get the Revisionarymug. Moni was released from she-hab looking and feeling better. If not quite as good as at the outset of her epic pub crawl 4 days ago.

Get the she-habmug. She had her periodic table commited to memory and the elements, this night, were perfectly aligned. Nestor was gonna be a Daddy, whether he liked it or not.

Get the periodic tablemug. Resemblance to some attractive celebrity is a traditional selling point in the blind date arena.
