I heard today

From a post opper at Salford while i was in there for my 6 weekly check that the NHS do a card proving you have had Bariatric Surgery that you give to restaurants, cafe's etc so you can order smaller potions without embarrasment, now ive not heard of that before but think its a great idea, when you are trying to tell people in those kind of establishments why you cant have full portions, what does everybody think and have you heard about it.

That would be great! I wish I could get one.

Yep I have one of those cards, it states I have a lap band, I carry it in my purse the whole time, just incase of medical emergencies too.

Not had to show it in a restaurant yet, if I want a small portion I eat only what I know I can manage and leave the rest or have a starter instead.
