Question:
Can someone tell me exactly what to have written on a med alert tag?

Thanks!    — Ilene M. (posted on October 15, 2001)

Hi, here is what mine says: On the front: GASTRIC BYPASS, more on back. On the back: [MY NAME], NO NG TUBE, ENDOSCOPY ONLY. Margie B

Hello, I have a medic alert bracelet and they put ....HTN. GASTRIC BYPASS DO NOT BLINDLY PLACE N/G TUBE USE ENDOSCOPY......I wanted a necklace but someone told me that the bracelet would be better because in the ER they normally start an IV and start with your arm that is if nothing is wrong around your neck....This is just the information I was told....Hope this helped!!! God Bless!!!
