Do AGB patients need a medical alert ID as well?

Do adjustable gastric band patients need to be concerned about blind NG tubes like RNY patients? I am preparing for surgery on, March 3, 2009. A friend mentioned needing a medical alert ID. I searched this site, but all the conversations I found regarding this related to RNY patients. I will be asking my doc at my pre-op on his take, but I wanted to get the opinion of some fellow bandsters.
