Medical alert bracelets

Hey everyone!

I recently came across a blog that really resonated with me, especially for those of us who?ve had weight loss surgery like gastric bypass or gastric sleeve. It talks about why medical alert jewelry is so important post-surgery and highlights a great option for adjustable bracelets and necklaces. I thought I?d share some key points here since it might help others in this community.

Why Medical Alert Jewelry is a Must After Surgery:

• No Blind NG Tubes: After surgery, we can?t have blind NG tubes inserted because of how our anatomy changes. A medical alert can say ?NO BLIND NG? to make sure EMTs know this.
• Dumping Syndrome: Too much sugar can cause serious issues like Dumping Syndrome. Engraving ?NO SUGARS? can be a lifesaver in emergencies.
• NSAID Restrictions: Many of us are told to avoid NSAIDs because they can irritate the stomach pouch. A simple ?NO NSAIDS? on your bracelet or necklace can prevent complications.

The blog also mentioned Divoti?s adjustable medical alert jewelry, which is perfect for those of us whose body sizes are changing. Their bracelets and necklaces are adjustable, so they grow (or shrink!) with you. Plus, they?re stylish and durable, which is a bonus if you want something that doesn?t scream ?medical alert.?

Here?s what you can engrave on them:

• Your name
• Type of surgery (e.g., Gastric Bypass, Gastric Sleeve)
• Date of surgery
• Restrictions like NO BLIND NG, NO SUGARS, or NO NSAIDS.
• Emergency contact info

I love that these are customizable and practical for our unique needs. Plus, I found out that you can use your HSA/FSA card to pay for them online at DivotiUSA.com, which makes it even more convenient!

If you aren't allergic to any drugs, also put "NKDA"

Don't bother putting your blood type. It will be ignored and they will not give you a transfusion until they type your blood themselves.
