In case of an emergency...I did this last night.

Hey guys! I did this last night and thought that I would share with everyone. One of the first things the nurses told me at the surgi-center when I had my surgery was to put this card in my wallet that said I had the Lap-Band. This way, in case of an emergency the ER staff or EMS would not put a gastric tube in if I needed one. Well, I thought about it and decided that what if I didn't have my wallet with me? How would they know I had it. It isn't a guarantee that my husband would be with me to tell them. So...I went online and did a search for custom medical I.D. bracelets and found some really nice ones. Not the ones that your grandma would wear but ones that were stylish and hip. I was able to put my name, Gastric Band, date I had the surgery, doc's name and office phonenumber. And the engraving was free. So, I thought that I would pass along this information if anyone is interested. It just really put my mind at ease knowing that I ordered a bracelet that I would wear because it was nice and stylish AND informative! smile.gif

You can find me on ebay at lab012189. If you like the Liquid silver style I would wait - the one on there is glass beads but I have some real liquid silver on order (as well as some Swarovski Crystal and some neat silver barreled beads) and it should be here soon.
