Lovemythreems 36 Posted June 13, 2012 Don't laugh at me but I meant to ask my doctor if I will buzz at the airport going thought the metal detector. For some reason I always get picked to get wanded/violated & if the port is metal won't I buzz? How embarrassing that could be? What would I say if my stomach beeps? Laugh with me not at me. I'm super serious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lovemythreems 36 Posted June 13, 2012 Thank goodness. Mine sorta looked like it had a metal ring on the inside but maybe it's plastic. Whew...I've been wondering about that for like 2days...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisychains7 427 Posted June 13, 2012 I went on three flights in the past week and had no issue with airport security. Never thought about them seeing my band on the scanner... Lol. Funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbbanded 70 Posted June 13, 2012 I went through one at a court and it didn't make a sound. Hopefully those are as strong as the ones at airports and I don't get screwed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PandorasBox92264 61 Posted June 13, 2012 I travel and have flown alot with it and have not had any trouble. I even went through the new scanners and nobody looked twice or asked me what was inside me. You will be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lollicatt 36 Posted June 13, 2012 I went off at the st . Louis arch security. In my little lap bands packet it says that there is a small titanium rod in the port and I may set off security. I handed them my lap band card and they were fine with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jess55 97 Posted June 13, 2012 i just thought about when they put you in that air puff machine and do the full body scan!! they will see the band. how funny! They will not see your band in a full body scan. That is not an x ray machine. It cannot see under your skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
