I heard or read somewhere that for wls patients espescially those who have had gastic bypass that it is very important that we wear a medical id bracelet or necklace stating that in case of an emergency and we are incoherent that the EMTs are not to administer a blind ng tube because that could punture your pouch or to give you any Anti-inflammatory meds.. has anyone heard of this or perhalps has an id bracelet cause it was news to me and made me wonder if i should have known about it.

I wear one.  Not everyone thinks it's really necessary, though.

My has on the front:
My name
Gastric Bypass
No NSAIDS
No sugars
No blind NG tube

On the back:
In emergency call
My partner's phone number

 I have been thinking about getting one.  I have this card that I carry with me in my wallet that my doc gave me.  I have seen some of these that are watches and really pretty bracelets.

I was told by someone that is an EMT that it was better not to get one that was really pretty and looked like jewelry because in an emergency, EMTs might not realize it's a medical bracelet.
