Medical Alert Bracelets

May 30, 2014

This topic comes up over and over on OH. I do feel a bracelet is necessary. I don't always carry my purse, wallet, or identification. I know that sometimes unexpected things happen and this is a good precaution to take.

I do have a scrolling message on the front of my cell phone with my name, address, RNY gastric bypass, and my surgeon's phone number. I am not sure if an emergency person would look there though.

I am going to write this here not only for new people to see, but to remind myself to place that order and what I want the bracelet to say.

My name
RNY Gastric Bypass 05/23/2014
No NSAIDS
No sugars
No blind NG tubes

On the back:

The surgeon's name and phone number

ICE: daughter's name and phone number
