Guest guest Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 Hi everyone: just a note to head off a potentially divisive controversy in response to an e-mail I rec'd privately. (I don't want a calcium or " what to really name it " controversy either one---grin--it just makes it so that people don't want to read the list) Please call surgery whatever you wish. I don't think anyone here is going to say its has to be one way or another, or else. By my sights, wls is one of the side effects of the surgery, but it is not the name for the surgery. And wls most definitely has been appropriated by and for marketing purposes by many, MANY surgeons, aftercare groups, hospitals, nutritionists, lawyers---- but not all, especially those who began in the field long, long ago. I've been online about these matters going on half a dozen years, and I have watched the phrase wls evolve into its current mileau. Language evolves and words are often appropriated and used in ways that were not meant at the onset. That's all. hope this clarifies. ceep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
