I will be banded 10/21. At a post op visit my dr's office gave me a "I've got a lapband" card...actually from LapBand. My nurse told me to keep this in my wallet becuae although the detector you walk thru wont be set off if I were to be wanded it could. I got a temp card and she said after the band was in LapBand would send me a laminated one.

hmmmmmmm
