Is it true that the lap band sets off the security sensors at the airports? Has this caused any problems or are the homeland security staff starting to get used to bandsters? I will be banded next week and travel a lot. I'm hoping this isn't a hassle.

I had a lap band for 2 years, during which time I traveled twice to Europe and took
three cruises. I had to take flights to all my destinations. My band was made by Inamed and it never set off any alarms.
Travel and enjoy....
I've never had that problem. You might want to have a note from the surgeon jsut saying you have a band not only for the airport but also on your person in case a medical emergency happened. karen
