Funny you should ask..I just saw them on EBAY for Gastric Bypass patients.. for $10.00. I am not sure if that is a good price or not. Hope that helps.

I went to the site called (MakeMeThis.Com). I purchased a Medical ID Bracelet for $9.90 that includes the cost of shipping ($3.95). I purchased the child's size and it fits great (in fact, it is a little larger and I had to take links off it). The wording I put on the bracelet was: LINE 1: MY NAME LINE 2: RNY GASTRIC BYPASS LINE 3: NO NG TUBE W/O SCOPE LINE 4: NO NSAIDS LINE 5: MUST CARRY WATER It is stainless steel. I have worn it from the day that I received it and have never taken it off. I'm sure that you will like this product as well. Have a nice day. Kathy P (from Massachusetts) 7/25/05 1230

There is a website called Laurenshope.com. They have pretty bracelets. They should read, Gastric bypass or Gastric banding. Do Not Place NG tube blindly. If you get one from medicalert they will charge you a yearly fee to keep the information. Hope this helps. Mona
