Realize Band port clamps and airport security
I had my surgery on the 23rd and I get to fly home on Oct 2, I was wondering in the port clamps register going thru security and if I need any documentation other than the ID I got at the hospital? I have an appt with my Doc on Oct 1 and if needed can get something from him.
Any info on this would be a big help.
Have a wonderful Sunday

I havent done any traveling since I got my little buddy, but, I dont THINK they would give you any trouble, but, better safe than sorry. If your doc can give you some kind of documentation then I would have it. It would be a huge shame to get all the way there and then have to go back to the doctors office to get it, miss your flight, have to reschedule.....seems like a big ole pain in the butt. If you dont need it, you can always file it away somewhere, or frame it as one more example of how silly our world is getting.

So did the metal detection go off?? And you had to show your Realize card? Thanks.

That was the first question I asked my friend that works for TSA. He's a screen-er at our major airport. He told me that 1 in 35 people have some form of metal in there body, whether it a frag from a grenade or the hip replacement grandma had. The airport people know what there doing. Having metal in your body is not that rare and is handled in a professional matter
