Randy,
I wear a medic alert bracelet from www.laurenshope as well. It is beautiful
and mine sez "RNY gastric bypass, No NG tube, no nsaids, no aspirin,
asthmatic". You choose what you want on the bracelet. I have read both
opinions on whether we need it or not, but I figured better to be safe than
sorry. Don't want Jr. to be punctured by mistake! LeeAnn RNY 10-14-03 -

I wear one....got it from a little shop in the Daytona Beach mall called
Things Remembered. It is small but big enough for my name on the front, and
on the back it says "No Blind NG tube." I couldn't ever get a
really clear opinion as to whether we needed one or not so I asked my son
who is a paramedic and he said "better safe than sorry" so I
bought one. It cost about $70 with the engraving included.

I got mine through Lauren's Hope www.laurenshope.com as well. This is
actually my second as I really like the plate that they use better than my
first. The bracelets can changed easily so you can change your bracelet
depending on your likes/wants. Mine says: No NG tube w/o scope; No
NSAIDS; NO codeine; IVC filter. I don't leave home without it!

Hi, I have'nt had my surger yet, but I plan for my ID bracelet to say
simply
" SEE WALLET CARD BEFORE ANY TREATMENT"
I can explain in depth there what medical professinals need to know.

Randy, I have a medical alert necklace already. My surgeon told me after I
have the surgery to add that I have had Gastric Bypass. IF you ever have a
medical emergency, they should be aware that you've had this surgery. If
you go directly to MedicAlert.com, this is the world-wide medic alert, you
can order your necklace or bracelet for under $20. Pay by credit card
on-line. You should receive your bracelet or necklace within a couple of
days.
