Was fooling around on ebay tonight, missed out on a great deal for a part for my car. But since I have lap band on the brain I searched lap band on ebay. Thankfully, nothing was returned in the search. But just for my own morbid comedy I thought I'd post it to the group. What could you hypothetically find on ebay pertaining to the lap band???

1. A Invasive Acme home lap band kit.

Contents: A scalpel, rubber gloves, mirror, a pack of rubber bands, two tylenol.

2. A Non-Invasive Acme home lap band kit.

Contents: Bicycle Pump, Truck Tire Tube, Talcum powder.

Yes, I'm starting to feel better from the surgery.

:heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh::heh:

Let's see...

A book someone has written about lap-band.

A removed lap-band.

Print outs from a fluoroscopy.

T-shirts (a la cafe press).

Ok that's all I can think of, but none of those would surprise me.

Hey, Cafe Press T Shirts for the lap band. What would put on it? For the mommies we coud have

"Band Of Mothers" spoof off of band of brothers.

or

"got band?" spoof off got milk ad.

oh god. There is already a lap band t shirt on cafe press.

There are even lap band boxer shorts.

There are loads of books on amazon.com I found the other day. I ordered a recipe book for life after weight loss surgery, got it yesterday. Looks like it has some good stuff in it.

There have been several actual bands on ebay. Inamed, had the company remove them, but they have relisted several times. They are expired bands, but being sold as sterile, and new in sealed boxes. Scary huh? do a search here there were several threads about it. ~Mandy

I saw a lapband on ebay but it was strictly marked as sample. It wasn't so long ago and it's not listed in the completed items so I'm betting it got pulled too. Very Interesting!

i was laughing until i just read the last couple of responses......... omg!!!

Actually, it would be really handy to have a band to show people who dont know what you are talking about.

When my Dr. showed me the sample in his office I thought I need one of these.

It would save so much time explaning.

There is a picture of the band on my card from Inamed. It helps to explain things too. ~Mandy

I didnt get a card, all I got was a bunch af scars, bruises and what looks like burn.

Still, I am not complaining.

Contact Inamed and they will send you the packet. It has a restaurant card explaining the band. It also has medical info on it. There is a book about the band, diet and support information. ~Mandy

I got a card today. Didn't realize I was getting one, but what a good idea!!
