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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
