Medical ID Bracelets

Does anyone know what we're supposed to put on our medical ID bracelets? Joni

What medical id bracelets????? Rhonda

Hi Rhonda, We should be wearing medic alert bracelets to let them know we are RNY or Lapband patients in the event of a medical emergency. I have worn mine since the day I came home from the hospital a year ago. I would feel naked without it! Linda

I guess I should be ordering one? Does Dr Peters let me know what it should say? And were do I order it from? Thanks, Rhonda

Hi Joni, I just changed mine a few weeks ago to include the newest guidelines ( doctors office recommendations ) Mine reads: Gastric Bypass 3/04 No NG Tubes No NSAIDS/ Aspirin No Sugar Dr. Irgau 305-892-9900 I got my original bracelet from LaurensHope.com, then ordered a second when they had a sale with the new tag info. I'm currently wearing my new favorite, a bracelet made my Susane who does lovely work! Linda

Thanks Linda, that's EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! Joni

Thank you for the info on the bracelet. i will now have to add to mine that i have a pace maker in my chest, hope there will be room. my heart miss fired last sunday morning and to keep it regular and from keeping me from passing out, i need it. what a bummer. im only 47 yrs old. well, at least i lost 5 more lbs while i was in kent general hospital. LOL its so hard to type with one arm, i have to keep my left arm in a sling for 4 weeks to allow my wires to connect secure in my heart and to boot, i'm left handed,, oh boy,take care, tell sam for me, okay. thanks! I enjoy reading your post, beth

Hi Beth, Darn woman, you need less excitement in your life! Glad they caught the problem and fixed you up. Follow docs orders and behave yourself Sam told me that something had happened but he wasn't sure exactly what, here's hoping this finds you feeling much better soon. Linda
