at mine it's on the reverse of my dietician Roy's business card, my suspection and NOBODY really confirmed it. If some restaurant wants not to honor it they can call him for verification.

I'm glad I found out about this. I'm going to ask my surgeon when I see her. Thanks everyone!

I was looking around in the bp store and saw one of these cards there. I thought that it may be helpful to those of you that do not have one.

Golden Corral provides a small discounted buffet price.

Suggestions for those restaurants that do not honor a weight loss surgery card:

Take a doggy bag! Save the rest for later!

Only order an appetizer, a Soup or a salad.< br>
Split a meal, most restaurants will provide a second plate to share a mail for free, some may charge you an extra dollar for the plate.

Please note:

Many chain restaurants are independently owned and operated and some may not honor the card.

There is no law compelling a restaurant to honor a weight loss surgery card (WLS).

      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!
