I've read there is a card from Inamed that you can carry that indicates that you've had weight loss surgery, and cannot eat a lot of food at a time.

I recently had a bad experience at a restaurant, where I was not allowed to order off of the children's menu, they insisted I order an adult meal. I don't know if the card would have helped in this case, but iwould have liked to have it to show, to see if they would allow me to order what I wanted.

I looked on teh Inamed site, and couldn't find anything - can someone let me know where I can get teh card? My doctor does not supply them.

Thanks!

You may want to take this up with your doctor again. My card was supplied by my doctor but judging by the stylish layout, it looks like it comes directly from Inamed. It matches their other documents. It has a spot for my name to be written in, and my doctor's name to be written in. So I'm presuming that Inamed supplies them in the kit they give to the doctor that contains the actual band. Maybe your doctor threw it out?

Good luck!

Mine came from my surgeon but it came from inamed and I've heard they come with your band so I would ask him again. If not, I've got the email address for inamed, and you email the guy and he sends you one. Let me know if you want it.

I got a card from my hospital/surgeon that says the name of the hospital on it and pretty much the same info that the card linked above does. My nutritionist signed it. I haven't had to use it yet, but I'm glad I have it. Every children's menu I've seen so far has been full of pasta and deep fried foods, so I usually order fish and bring home enough for one or two more meals.

My doctor gave it to me. It really does work great. I have been able to get half orders, and discounts at buffet places.
