Medical Alert Bracelet

Does anyone here who has been banded wear a medical alert bracelet or dog tags? I was just thinking about how this might be important post-banding.

    That's pretty snazzy--I like the idea of having it--I'm thinking the people saying it's not necessary have likely never needed it. I think I will go the dog tag route personally but I really dig your

I received a card in the mail from LapBand. Did none of you get one? I'm keeping it in my wallet with my drivers license. But a bracelet is a great idea. I like the one shown above too, but $86 is way too pricey right now for me.

Also, my card shows the name and phone number of my doctor, what size band, and says to use caution when doing any abdominal procedures, or something like that. You could probably all get one from LapBand.com if you haven't got one yet.

There is a groupon for medical alert dog tags. Really cute. A lot of different colors!

Just go to your groupon app and under the "goods" tab it is listed.

I've definitely got to get one. I'm leaning towards the dahlia cuff because I don't like jangly things on my wrist. But everything is sooooo pretty!

I was told to get one but have been lazy about it. I do carry the lap band card with my license

Well, you all talked me into one! :P I went with the Dahlia cuff on www.laurashope.com. I'd rather be safe that sorry after all the work we've gone through.
