This is the moment… you’re holding your breath as you seek permission to order from the kid’s menu.

Your mind is reeling with thoughts:

“What is the server thinking?”

“Do they think I’m cheap and can’t afford the adult price?”

“Will I have to explain what Bariatric surgery is… just to be told no or more embarrassing to have the manager sent to the table?” 😩

It’s happened to all of us… but not anymore…

The menu arrives, and you know the only portion that makes sense for you is on the kids’ page. But the thought of asking—and maybe having to explain—can be so uncomfortable.

Meet your new favorite dining companion! This Bariatric Medical Alert Card discreetly and professionally communicates your medical need for smaller portions to your server backed by our brand. No long stories, no awkward justifications. Just a simple, dignified way to order what’s right for your body.

Dine out with confidence and enjoy your meal without the stress.
