Great job!! I never heard of a lap band card, but noone has ever refused me from ordering off the kids menu.

Yeah most places don't care but a few, especially like buffet places do care. I have been too a few regular restaurants that won't let you order off the kid's menus if you're over 12.

I think the Lapband card also has the ID number of your band on it. So if there is ever a recall on the band you can know if yours is included in the recall. Especially if you move or change doctors.

thanks for the info on the card I was wondering how to get one.

I was given one from my doctor's office. it's not specifically lap band, but it references a surgical procedure that limits the amount I can eat. It's very "medical". For me, I've never used it, because I'm not comfortable advertising that I had WLS. I'd rather order an appetizer, or a full meal & take the rest home.

I don't care who knows I had LAPBAND cause I'm proud of my device!!! I will tell anyone:). Without it I would be way over 250 by now. My band has helped me loose 61 pounds in 4 months. I will shout it from the mountain tops!!!!

      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.
