medical alert bracelet

Does anyone know what the web site that had the pretty medical alert bracelets? And what info we need to put as a gastric bypass patient? Thanx in advnce. Corinn

I got mine from www.medicalert.com and it says: Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Do not blindly place N/G tube. No NSAIDs Hypertension I tried to cover all my bases and because mine was a gold one it did not cost me anything to have it re-engraved adding my surgery and removing my diabetes.... plus I did not want to take any chances on someone trying to put a tube down me in an emergency....

Jackie, Thanx for the info. But what is NSAIDs? Still being new to all this, I have a lot of questions. Corinn

Hi Corinn, NSAIDS is no anti inflamatory drugs like Ibuprofen, Advil etc etc - these are pouch burners for us... Jackie

Corinn- I got mine from www.laurenshope.com. It's really pretty. I have: Christina S******** (my last name ) RNY Gastric Bypass No Blind NG Tube No NSAIDS ICE: Don S******** 000-000-0000 (my husband's name and cell phone number) It was a bit pricey, but worth it. Also, they recommend that they wear it on your left wrist. That's where most EMTs will go to take your pulse if you're not awake/talking. Christina S

Thannx for the great info. I looked up laurenhope and saw some great braceletes on there. Corinn

that's a good idea to have, i'll have to save these links for after i've had my surgery...

How's it going Missy? Getting all your iron in? I hope all is well. Corinn

The first couple of days were really rough because i was talking the iron with the antibiotics that i'm on, so i started taking the iron separately and now i'm feeling better.

Hi Corinn, I didn't get one yet...not sure what I am waiting for but anyway, I remember someone posting that if you also add "Must carry water" or something like that, it helps you ge****er into places that may not allow you to carry it in. Christine
