Okay, so I took my best friend out to dinner on Veteran's Day as he is a veteran. We thought about it long and hard, and decided on Soup Plantation, where he could have salad, soup and all the nasties that go with it, and I could have soup or a baked potato. We told the cashier that I had had the gastric bypass and was only going to eat a little soup and she gave me the gastric bypass discount, but she also advised me to get a card. Anyone have a card? Where do you get them? Or did you make your own?

Tricia:

I think you can print your own card off the obesityhelp.com website. However, if you call Dr. Callery's office and ask, they will mail you a card. It took about three months for me to get mine because they had run out.

Tricia,
You can get the card at Dr. Callery's office. Sandi called the office for me and they sent me one in the mail. She is a sweetie! Call Alicia or Lisa...they will get you one.

I've also been told I can get the care at Obesityhelp.com. I'm not sure but I need to get one to.

I printed one out on obesityhelp.com but I have never been asked to show it! They have 3 different formats for you to choose from. Every time I have asked at Dr C's ofc they were out.

I've had one since April of 2002. I have never needed or used it.

...although I'm not sure I'll need it. The one time I ordered a dish for myself at a restaurant, it was SO MUCH food that I really didn't need to order anything - could have gotten my half cup from my partner's plate without diminishing his experience much at all...

I generally just have a few forkfulls of whatever my partner's having... saves money! Once I can eat more, the card may come in handy, or if I have to eat out alone, whatever.

Went in to Dr. C's office today for my 6-week checkup (all is fine, and it's actually been 7 weeks). They gave me a card from a large pile they have in the drawer, so they've apparently re-stocked.

Thanks Phil!

My 6-week is today and I go in late this afternoon after work. I will pick a card up then. Doubt I can stay for the meeting. I have to put my house back together. Moved dining room furniture Sunday and shampooed carpets, they better be dry today!
