Every Win Counts

We define a Non-Scale Victory (NSV) as a word that conveys a result, object, goal, outcome or feeling generally used revolving around a feel-good moment. The NSV’s of weightless surgeries can basically be small wins relating to off scale moments in your new, well-earned life. It is small things that matter, after all. Non-scale victories define a certain moment in life win you feel like this was all worth it - and every win matters.
