Important in an emergency!!! Ya all must have a MEDIC ALERT ID.

Even if you do not have any other conditions you need to let a Dr or EMT know that you had Gastric Surgery in an emergency! sample alert: GASTRIC BYPASS NO NG TUBE W/O SCOPE NO NSAIDS I discussed with my doctor if I still needed a tag for Type II Diabetic, high blood pressure and my being allergic to Penicillin. Even though I no longer take insulin since surgery and that my blood pressure now hovers at 110/70 He told me that I needed to keep all that on a tag. I came across the gastric alert when I was looking for an alert charm on Ebay... it was only $12.00 or so.

good to know! thanks for the info!

I have a medical ID bracelet for Gastric Bypass. My parents gave it to me for Christmas. Mine says Gastric Bypass see wallet. And in my wallet I have a card that explains everything with my surgeons name and phone number.

Thanks for the info Noble. Would you be willing to share the name of the Ebay seller that sells the Gastric Bypass Alert? Thanks! Marianne C.
