This website has some REALLY great medical bracelets. laurenshope.com There is also a gal on this board that makes them. I haven't seen them yet though. Her name is Cindy Vickers. I was going to buy some bracelets, but instead my sister and I are going to get together, invite a few girlfriends over and have a jewelry making party. I'll get some sterling silver medical plates engraved before hand. If you decide to make them yourself, make sure you get the really strong beading wire and clasps that won't tarnish. They are a little more expensive, but obviously a must. In an old post, Tera H gave the information that you need on the bracelet: Gastric Bypass Pt. No NGT/NSAIDS The NGT lets them know that they shouldn't put a breathing tube down your throat because it can be damaging if your still healing. And the NSAIDS is to let them know not to give you certain pain meds that can cause stomach ulcers. Hope that helps! Cheers! Lorraine

What exactly is one supposed to have engraved on the bracelet if they hae the laproscopic gastric bypass?

Same things if you had the RNY....

The same thing I'm sure. Everything is the same inside. The only difference is how it was done. Cheers! Lorraine
