Yes, I've heard and read a lot about the statistics, not very uplifting, but I will indeed try my very best. Thank you!

Does anyone out there post-op have a Medical ID Bracelet?
During my pre-op the Bariatric Coordinator thought getting an ID bracelet would be a good idea. She said it can be particarly dangerous if you go to be intubated, lets say if you were in an automobile accident), the emergency responder could go straight through your pouch (putting a hole). She said she has seen it done while working in the ER - a lady's spleen was cut and a hole was put through the pouch. This scared me and actually never dawned on me to have one. She said hers states she is an RNY patient, not to intubate and no Aspirin, No NSAIDS. I'm looking into getting one...I think it is very important.
Do you recommend a particular brand (that doesn't cost an arm and a leg)?
