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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
