In case your unconscious and there's no one around to let them know you've had the gastric sleeve. So they will take different precautions with the tube and drugs

This has really never entered my mind. I'm curious if it is a significant risk for emergency services.

We talked about it in my support group. So I wanna get one can't be too safe. You are your own advocate.

I'm in California and my Doctor recommends we get one for sure. If you were ever in a emergency situation all responders should know that you have had this proceeder just like Bypass patient or the needs of a Diabetic.

The company I will be using is MedicAlert, they have brackets, necklaces that has a medical ID# on it and it will say Bariatric.

It could save a life.

I had not thought of this before this thread, but it's a great idea. I found one on Amazon I like: http://www.amazon.com/Gastric-Sleeve-Medical-Italian-Bracelet/dp/B007NMF242

There are lots of companies out there from which to order one. I ordered mine from Lauren's Hope. My PA suggested this for the tag:

GASTRIC SLEEVE

NO BLIND NG TUBE

NO NSAIDS

(I also added no aspartame as I am allergic to it)

      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.

      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! 😞
