A New New Dawn 1,695 Posted October 11, 2012 I got a card but not with any serial #s or anything. It was just a card showing I had a lapband in me. Essentially, it was just for me to show at a restaurant as many places will allow you to order off a kids' menu by showing it. I have never used it for that but have it on me. I had to ask my doctor for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWgirl 574 Posted October 11, 2012 I had to request the lapband yellow introductory packet, which had the card information to fill out inside and send away. 1 vmarlau reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWgirl 574 Posted October 11, 2012 I never got one... where do i het one and what do you need to do to get one? starting weight 287.6 current weight 257.4 Ask your surgical team for the Lapband welcome packet- it has all the info inside, including the part you mail in. You could also go to the Lapband allergan site and create a login ant try to order that way. I tried to get one online but it kept saying it could not find my center of excellence surgeon!
