Lap Band Passport?



Recommended Posts

Oh great, I read this thread and now all I can think of is getting 'beeped' at the airport next time I leave the country and having to explain to some guy, why I am beeping!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I just say it is my underwire bra without getting stripsearched or x-rayed??????????

If I were you I wouldn't tell a "fib". They tend to get a teeny bit bent out of shape when they find out you weren't up front with them - you really don't want to incur a body cavity search do you? lol I'm just kidding, I don't think that would even be legal. Oh God - I HOPE that's not legal. How screwed up is this world? Don't answer that.

If you don't want to talk about it where you might be overheard just tell them you want to go into one of those privacy screened areas to tell them. I don't think they'd object to that, after all you do have a right to privacy. At least in this country - who knows about foreign travel.

Well, it depends on how low your girls hang or how high your doc places your port :)

HA, that made me laugh.

Now, seriously, does it make you beep every time? My underwire doesn't. I guess I will have to do the whisper the lap band explanation and just pray that they believe me. :nervous

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
