I was told by the NP that I should get a Medic Alert bracelet because we can't use NSAIDS or have a certain type of scope. Has everyone else done this?

I'm on a tight budget right now and don't want an additional monthly expense.

I got one. I was never told to get one, but, I have read a few things & it sounded like a good idea. I have other medical issues that I included on it too, so, that made it seem like an even better idea.

I got one and on my 3 month follow up with the NP she asked to see it. I had understood it to be optional but when she asked to see my bracelet I suddenly felt "wow wasn't so optional was it"

When I saw the Nurse, she suggested I get one that said... GASTRIC BYPASS and NSAIDS. i plan to purchase it before the surgery. I will just go to an engraving place to get either a necklace or bracelet type. WORTH it really if anything were to happen afterwards.

Wouldn't that be "No NSAIDS"? I've been thinking of getting one, but am not sure of the proper wording...
