I just went to a Federal Courthouse and had a really hard time getting into the building. My whole mid-section kept lighting up and setting off the system. After 5-6 tries and wand scans I mentioned I had surgery several months ago and they said that was probably it. They also suggested my doctor do an x-ray to make sure they didn't leave anything inside. Has this happened to anyone else?

You didn't have any wire in your bra did you? If so that will do it every day. The band isn't metal so if that set it off I'd get an xray just to be sure.

I'm pretty sure the port prongs are metal (at least with the Realize Band)-- maybe that's it?

I was told that the port has titanium in it which can set off metal detectors. I carry a card from the manufacturer that explains that I have a sugical implant. :unsure:

I've been through airport metal detectors with my band and nothing has gone off but I have the Allergan band. Not sure if you might have the Realize Band but I know it has hooks that hold your port into place.

I'm curious now if whether or not I beep in a metal detector!

I just flew on Friday and had no issue. Well, they stole my 2 tiny fruit cup cans. I guess they felt I might hurt someone with a piece of pineapple. LOL

I have been into both court houses and through airport security several times and have never had an issue.

My doctors office gave me a card to carry with just in case I set off a detector. Won't have my band until Nov 17th, but I fly sometimes for work so glad I'll have it just in case.

I have a Realize band and fly international and domestic all the time and have never had any problems.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
