Medical Id~~~~Help

Does anyone wear a medical id braclet? and do you have a card for your wallet that says you surgery you had? Thanks for the help

I do. I got mine from www.creativemedicalid.com Talk to Cindy, let her know I referred you. They are not cheap....but there are other places that offer them here on oh.com that might suit you too. I do have a card I carry in my wallet at all times indicating I have had RNY and no NG tubes...got those from my WLS Surgeon. And Made my own. Also, I recommend shopping around for the medical ID bracelet. It is important that medics know what to look for....on a beaded bracelet, would they think to look at it? Make sure the medic ID is big enough so they notice. hugs Stacey W

Thanks for your help. Had my surgery on 11/2/06 and lost 67 pounds. Thanks again.

* Medic Alert website is very reasonable, and has sales constantly. http://www.medicalert.org/home/homegradient.aspx for $50.00 I got a year membership, and bracelet. The membership includes many things as well as having my medical info available 24/7. My bracelet has the medic alert 800 # on it as well as my membership number. Also, Asthma Gastric Bypass No Blind N/G Tube No NSAIDS My surgeons office gave me a very durable credit card sized card for my wallet/purse stating the surgery, when and where. Good luck! Cynthia

I put a sticker on the back of my license, usually the EMS people check that first then they look for your insurance. Best of luck. Robin

I have a medical ID charm. I purchased it from www.creativemedicalid.com It is the 'blue enamel filled' id. I chose that one because I was able to put the following on it: RNY 7/06 my name NO NG TUBE W/O SCOPE-USE ENDOSCOPY NO NSAIDS my drs. name my drs. phone number I decided on a charm because I can purchase several different bracelets and just move it from bracelet to bracelet. I'm happy with it so far. I also have a card from my surgeon which I carry in my wallet. Michelle

I ordered a med id bracelet off of Ebay. It's a nice bracelet for $30 with your name on the top and lists medical conditions underneath. It's by Lasercraft.
