Weird question...I am going to Vegas and am going with a few people...one of them has had gastric bypass, and of course is not able to eat as much as the rest of us...does anyone know if any of the buffets or restaurants give discounts to bypass patients...the person in question does have a card from the hospital stating the fact they have had the surgery....Thanks

This will be very beneficial to your friend if you all decide to visit the IP or GN buffets...life-saving, really...

If your question is serious, which I have my doubts, do you think a buffet is the best choice for you to take your friend?

No. There won't be a discount.

Should a gigantic person who piles up 7 plates at a buffet offer to pay more?

Does your hospital card indicate that you have had a brain bypass??

Not sure why receiving the rude remarks...we went on vacation before and several local restaurants have given discounts...was only wondering if the vegas buffets would do the same...

Does a bulimic pay double for consumption or half for rental?

I'm sorry, but I just can't stop laughing.

Then maybe just don't go to a buffet...at a regular restaurant your friend can just get a cup of soup or whatever he wants.

That's my thinking as well. If I had my stomach stapled, I sure as heck wouldn't want to hang around buffets.
