Child's portion card?



Recommended Posts

I thought they were more for when you go to a buffet. You can get a discount rate at a buffet if you have one of those cards. I would still pass because I mostly eat seafood, I will still get my moneys worth.

I have one that mentions small portions. I've used it a few times.

It’s up to the restaurant. Many will allow adults to order from the children’s menu, especially if you explain that you have a legitimate reason. Some may be more willing to allow you if you have an official-looking doctor’s note or card, but they’re not obligated to. Whether or not you are permitted to order children’s sized portions, remember you always get to decide how much to eat, even if you don’t get to choose how much you’re served!

I have a card my surgeon gave me and since I'm a picky eater I do give it to the people when I go to buffet and since I was going to those restaurants since before I had surgery they know me pretty well and they charge me the child price instead of the adult. So to me in those instances it is worth it. At the average restaurant though it is not worth it to me since the kids menu is not all that great and is geared towards kids and their palates. I would try here and there to see if they are willing once and awhile to offer a discount since you can't eat an average adult portion but since I do get to take the food home and get a second meal out of it I tend not to even care!

My doctor gave me two cards saying "The bearer of this card has had gastric limiting surgery and can only eat small portions of food. Please allow him/her to purchase a child's plate".

My Doctor gave me one. A lot of restaurants honor it.

It's not just for ordering from kids menu. Some give you less food with the smaller price.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
