I will be flying the end of Sept and really dont want any hastles. Do I need anything official that says i have an implanted device?

I have a dine out card as well as a physicians card about asparine etc. Just wondered?

Thanks!

You won't set anything off - the device is made out of silicone and titanium. In fact, I went through security today and got a green light!

I flew 4 days after being banded, and it was fine. BUT what's this Physician's card about Aspirin that you got?? My Dr. didn't give me anything like that, but I have heard it is bad for the stomach. Does it say to never take it??

When I went for my first check-up after beibg banded, the nurse gave me a card to carry in my wallet. It's made of plastic and it says that I have a 10cc Lapband and the Dr.'s name and # on it. She said it shouldn't affect anything at an airport but it was just in case. Ask your Dr. if he has a card like that for his patients.

ok, ill ask about a card when i go to the dr in two weeks.

i have one card for dining out, and one card for physicians to know i cannot take asparine.

I had trouble tying my shoes after they made me take them off, but slip ons were not comfortable for all that walking, I needed my track shoes. Took me about 10 minutes to get those shoes back on by myself.
