Got mine from laurenshope.com. The wife gets pretty bracelets there but mine is a red dog tag that says:

My Name
Gastric Bypass 9/08
Obs Sleep Apnea
ICE : 999-999-9999 cell
ICE: 999-999-9999 work

FYI - ICE is In Case of Emergency

In the past I've had a Medic Alert Bracelet. We have a military base here so after surgery I had a dog tag made up with Name, Phone (home) 7 (wife), blood type, surgery type. C'ya Rocky Top

Well dang, fellow Paul   hopefully that apnea will go away soon ..   mine did (doc said I had one of the worst cases he had ever seen!) ..   Just hang in there!   

  One word of warning about the Medicalert bracelets that I have mentioned on TT many times:  do NOT get the fancy ones that look like jewelry or are made out of or plated with expensive metals (e.g. platinum, silver, gold, etc.) ..   The one thing you don't want to happen while you are incapacitated is some thieving bastid passerby ripping it off while you're laying there ..  It happens!      Nor do you want medical personnel to overlook it, thinking it is just design jewelry  

  If it's cheap and obviously a medic-alert thing, thieves are going to leave it alone and the medics are going to recognize what it is, so that it can communicate your "needs" to medical personnel when they arrive, like it is designed to do ..
