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

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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
