I bought my medical ID bracelet on Ebay for only $9.95. No NG Tube without scope is on the back and medical alert logo on front. Hope this helps.

any engraving shop,got one at the county fair for 1.85. its not the ng tube to worry about, it being given glucose orally if your semi concicous,incoherant durring a cycle of dumping,similating insulin shock, a ems worker would give sugar, but thats a big negative for a non diabetic wls patient. a ng tube wont do u harm, its a soft pliable rubber.

MedicAlert in Turlock, California was the innnovator of those medical bracelets. You can call them for brochures and order over the phone. They do have a very inexpensive one to start with. They are on Colorado Street. Karen

I got mine from American Medical ID's website: <i>http://www.americanmedical-id.com/home/?usersession=</i> My bracelet says my name on the front and "see back" and then on the back I have: RNY GASTRIC BYPASS, NO BLIND NG TUBE, NO NSAIDS --- and the prior post about the blind ng tube not hurting you isn't true - it can puncture your pouch, especially if you are just a couple of weeks out. My doctor and his nurse confirmed this. The NSAIDS part isn't all that important (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) cause if given only once during an emergency isn't going to do any damage - it is just the long term affect but I put it on there for the "just-in-case" type senario. BTW, I am only 10 weeks out and this bracelet has already saved me from some serious damage. I was scheduled for an endoscopy on the 8th and for some reason somebody failed to mention that I was post-gastric and the nurse happend to notice my bracelet and when she notified the doc he had to reschedule for the next day cause he had dialation rods only for "normal" people and I had to be in a different area of the hospital for the special equipment. Hope this helps. Kelly
