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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
