Medical Alert bracelets

With my surgery date next month it was advised that I get a medical alert bracelet or necklace.

Does anyone else have one, and if so what kind of information do you have on it?

Just curious for those who have them, let me know - thanks.

I am ordering one for myself. I did find a couple of places on-line you can customize what they say. Otherwise Walgreen's medical does have them.

I had mine custom made.. it came from creative medical id. you can order through the website.
The advise I was given is to put the following on:

RNY Bypass
No NSAIDS
No blind NG
and then any allergies

My name in engraved on the front and the info on the back.  You can also puchase different "bands" to you can change the look and not be stuck with the same one all the time.

The service was great for a custom product.

It is a great idea to have a bracelet or necklace. I have mine engraved with the above information that others shared and an emergency notification telephone #.
