Is there such thing as a lapband Restaurant Card? Seems like I read somewhere about a card given post op for us bandsters to be able to take to any restaurant and order off the child's menu without paying the adult price as long as we show the card..? Just curious if anyone has heard of this it happened to have one..

My surgeon and I had that conversation just Monday when I went for my followup. He said he could give me one, but that the choices on most kid's menus were horrible food choices. I decided not to get it.

Some places will charge you less or give half portions instead of full plate meals.. I've never used mine (yet) since the only times I have gone out are with people who do not know I am banded.

I think it is up to the place you are dining at. If you show them the card, they may offer a partial serving or special order.

I do not feel they need to give me special pricing, because I am free to take my left overs home.

I have one too, I have used it at buffet restaurants to be priced cheaper.

I have one and have only used it at a buffet, because all the children's plate offerings are horrible, nothing but fat and carbs! It's up to the restaurant whether or not they honor it.

Joyce, what kind of buffets have you used it at?

I have one also, but I've never used it. My SO loves buffets but I never go with him. Haha

So I just got back from my doctor and received the formation to sign up for one. It also works as a medical card I guess you could say.. In case something happened somewhere it would be with our person identification cards. Very cool

I used mine for the first time tuesday , we went to golden corral . And they gave me the discount . The normal price for the buffet is $10.99 , and they charged me the senior price $6.49 . Not a Hugh savings but more than I expected . So I will use my card from now on . And my doctor gave me a Lapband card , then I got a one in the mail that had all my info on it .

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
