WLS card when going to restaurants?

[laurentayler 0]

Hey guys, so I have a friend that had bypass, they gave her this card that she had a WLS surgery therefore she can order off the kids menu, and she can pay the childs price at a buffet.

Have you heard of this? DO they give you something similar with Lapband? or do I sound like a crazy nut right now???? lol

How is everyone doing today?

I'm scheduled to have the lap band in a little over a week. I was given one of those cards. I haven't used it, but definately plan to.

i was banded almost a year ago. i do have one of those cards but i've never had to use it. i order off the kid's menu (and pay the kid's price) without any problems at all from places like Denny's, Cracker Barrell, Friday's, Long Horn, etc. Don't forget... you can always order just an appetizer instead of a full meal (which you'll never be able to eat in one sitting ever again!)

I had one but I lost it.

I was given two cards after surgery, I cary one and have one put away. To date I have not had to use them. I always order off of the kids menu, and have not had any problems from the wait staff or restaurant. I have yet to try a buffet though.

I'm preop so don't know if I will get one but my comment is........Bless the person who turns down someone from this board that shows the card.....for they will have a price to pay.........lol

We were told use the card and if someone said no don't go back. So far I have not used it either. I have not been out much. But I usually let my husband order and then I eat from his plate since you can not eat much now.
