Used my lap-band card for the first time

[JimR915 21]

I used my lap-band card for the first time over the weekend at a Sunday Brunch. I was able to pay the kid's price.

I'm not a cheap person, but it's only right as I didn't even eat as much as I saw some of the kids eating.

My hat off to the restaurant. Surely, it is their perogative to allow this. They absolutely did the right thing!

:DHurray! Have only had to mention lapband once because as a senior they don't thin twice about sharing.

I'm still pre-op, but I love me a bargain. What is this card you speak of?

When you get Banded you will receive a card. Mine has the Hospital, and Doc on the Front.

The Back says that you are a Bariatric patient, and can not eat as much as the average person, so you should get a break on the price from the Restaurant.

Majority of the time it works. I have had people that have said that I could get that copy of a Computer, so they don't honor those Fakes ! Well I told them it's no Foni. There opinion is we don't know that ! ! !

That was the only turn down I ever got.

Now! they are more understanding aout WLS, and they see them often.

I have to ask my dr again. I was told the card is only for those who have the advantage band, I think that's the name of the company. Over the weekend a worker got yelled at because he let me order off the kids menu. I felt bad, but even if I wasn't banded and wanted smaller portions I think I should be able to do so. They are still getting my business, I could have taken it elsewhere.

What kind of band do you have? Mine is the Lap-Band. The card came with it as part of the post-op packet.

I have the lap-band and I also have that card although i never use mine.. I just bring home whatever i cant eat and save it for later. Nothing ever gets wasted as I order things that i can just heat up in the microwave or oven.

I did once try to use it a chinese buffet and they suggested i just get the to go container. Its where you get a container and put what you want in it and they weigh it and you pay by the pound.. that worked great for me. I feel like I didnt get ripped off cuz i only paid for what i got.

I haven't used mine yet, but I think I'd like to if funds were short. But like the above post, I just take home the leftovers and it's usually enough for another meal Two for one, can't beat it!

I called my doctor's office and they are mailing me one. Maybe, now everyone gets one. I was banded in 09, the old days!

where do you get a lapband card??

[bromo 17]

I received a card from my doctor's office before I left the hospital.

[54Shirley 105]

That's how I got mine too.

how long did it take to get yours. I requested on about 4-5 weeks ago and still have not received it.
