I received a card in the mail from LapBand. Did none of you get one? I'm keeping it in my wallet with my drivers license. But a Bracelet is a great idea. I like the one shown above too, but $86 is way too pricey right now for me.

Also, my card shows the name and phone number of my doctor, what size band, and says to use caution when doing any abdominal procedures, or something like that. You could probably all get one from LapBand.com if you haven't got one yet.

i have a pink one.

says i have lap band and plication

no nsaids

no blind tubing

i cant speak for how important they are or not.

i wanted to have one for me and so i ordered me one.

it cost 86 as i added pink medic alert and some extras like dark lettering but you can get them way chepaer than what i ordered. that was just my preference.

I've definitely got to get one. I'm leaning towards the dahlia cuff because I don't like jangly things on my wrist. But everything is sooooo pretty!

Does anyone here who has been banded wear a medical alert Bracelet or dog tags? I was just thinking about how this might be important post-banding.

I was told to get one but have been lazy about it. I do carry the lap band card with my license

      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
