Is it "Legal" for me to Advertise WLS Medical Bracelets Here?

I hope someone out there knows the answer to this question.  I've been a member for nearly a year and can't access the question and answer section (it keeps coming up with little colored squares and no information, and the help page doesn't answer my question either.  I love this site and don't want to be kicked out for doing something site "illegal." 

So here goes.....I'm making WLS Medical ID Tag interchangeable bracelets since I found them all to be so darn expensive at the sites I was given to purchase them. 

Is it "legal" for me to advertise the ones I'm making on the Obesity Help forums/message boards to save members about 1/3rd to 1/2 price on these gastric bypass medical alert ID bracelets?

I sincerely thank you for your help!

I think any advertising has to be OKd and probably paid for by OH so you should contact them to see what the rules are. Seems I read something recently about someone getting in trouble for doing that. I'm sure some of the others will have better info.

Crystal advertises hers, with a link to her site.

i dont know, but can tell you that i found mine at the gift shop at St joes (in tacoma) and it was cheap, and it it cute! I think all told i spent about $20.00. it has silver and black beads and they are long and flat so they dont dig into your wrist like some beads do...

go

I think you should contact OH.
