Great job!! I never heard of a lap band card, but noone has ever refused me from ordering off the kids menu.

Yeah most places don't care but a few, especially like buffet places do care. I have been too a few regular restaurants that won't let you order off the kid's menus if you're over 12.

I think the Lapband card also has the ID number of your band on it. So if there is ever a recall on the band you can know if yours is included in the recall. Especially if you move or change doctors.

thanks for the info on the card I was wondering how to get one.

I was given one from my doctor's office. it's not specifically lap band, but it references a surgical procedure that limits the amount I can eat. It's very "medical". For me, I've never used it, because I'm not comfortable advertising that I had WLS. I'd rather order an appetizer, or a full meal & take the rest home.

I don't care who knows I had LAPBAND cause I'm proud of my device!!! I will tell anyone:). Without it I would be way over 250 by now. My band has helped me loose 61 pounds in 4 months. I will shout it from the mountain tops!!!!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
