I ordered a new Medic Alert bracelet and they actually called me and asked if I shouldn't be more specific about NG tubes.  I recalled a post of yours from some months back, and now my bracelet will say No Blind NGT instead of RNY.

Wow, that's nice that they called.  I think it is important to be specific on the bracelet, as much as you can in the little bit of space you have, because I think many ER docs might not know that having RNY means no blind NG tubes.  If they don't treat many RNY patients, they wouldn't necessarily know that kind of thing.
