Do You Buzz Going Through A Metal Detector?



Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

They will not see your band in a full body scan. That is not an x ray machine. It cannot see under your skin.

Its card with my info and that I have a lap band. It has a message for restaurants allowing me to order kiddie meals and about the titanium rod for security.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
