Hi Call your nurse or when you see your doctor next - ask him. They will have better information on that and preise.

I agree that you should ask your Dr. Mine told me that as long as it states what kind of surgery. My bracelet just states "ROUX-EN-Y ANASTOMOSIS"

There is a website called IDTAGSFORALL. I ordered my bracelet from them. They were the cheapest I found. My bracelet says "Implanted Medical Device-Lapband". I received my bracelet a day after surgery (2/17/09) it has a beaded bracelet links instead of a chain. Hope this helps.
