Med Alert Bracelet



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a med alert Bracelet? Might be a good idea in case there is some type of emergency. What do you think? I would hate for someone to put a feeding tube down and ruin my sleeve.

I will be ordering one today from Laura's Hope. Not just because of my sleeve and NG insertion issue, but, also due to allergies and another medical condition.

I need to get an updated one now that i have the sleeve. Mine is from MedAlert and is ancient. What's Laura's Hope? And what exactly are you putting on your braclete for the sleeve? Somehow I think 'The Sexy Sleeve' isn't appropriate. :-)

Thanks!

I apologize, it's Lauren's Hope. It's part of a company that makes very stylish medical alert jewelery for women, men, children. I, stumbled upon this company via another site. Jewelery is one of my weaknesses. They have such a wide variety and beautiful designs. I'm having info re: pre-exsiting medical conditions, allergy, no blind NG, and gastric sleeve.

I had asked this too, here:

I ended up ordering one from Lauren's Hope yesterday, here: http://www.laurenshope.com/

They have very nice pieces. A bit costly, I spent $80. But I figure it will last a long time, has a chain that can be changed and it is a good thing to have. I can't wait to get it in!

I got mine the other week. It has my name, ICE # , that I had Gastric Sleeve done 6/12, no n/g tube, no sugar, no nsaids and that I'm diabetic. I really feel it's important to have one.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
