Excited! Want medical bracelet now!



Recommended Posts

I'm excited about WLS. My date is 2/21. I want to order one now. I plan on putting the surgery date on it, but I'm afraid I would jinx my date if I were to order a Bracelet now. I want a sterling silver (maybe stainless steel) where the medical emblem is clear (or blue) and to put my name, VSGastrectomy 02/12/2013,No blind NG tube, and no/limit nsaids on the bracelet. Been surfing the web and have bookedmarked many of them. I mainly want it for the keepsake of when I have the surgery :rolleyes: ...ok, I guess it's a good medical alert also. Anybody else feel this way?

Man, you are so weird! Why can't you be like the rest and want your stomach in a jar as a keepsake? :rolleyes:

Hahaha! I want that too. I forgot to ask the doctor about it, but when I go in for my pre-op visit, I'm going to ask.

Sorry, but from what I've read on here, is is consider a bio-hazard and have to dispose of it accordingly. But ask away, especially if you are going to Mexico for the surgery. They may have different rules, it'll probably be given to you in a jar of tequila with a worm. :P

I have one and I wear it everyday. My husband had it made for me, it's made out of diamonds, and platinum He presented it to me the day I was leaving the hospital. Mine has my surgery date and how much I weighed on the inside of the Bracelet, for my eyes only. I look at how much I use to weigh when I have cravings for junk, it's a great reminder. I'm never turning back:)

I got mine from lorens hope.com

It reads as follows

Name

Gastric Sleeve

No Blind NG Tube

Medication allergy

ICE phone number

The attachment isn't loading right now I will try to load it later.

It is silver with a fancy swirl on it. It is dressy and casual. I love mine!

I read about getting one of these but my doc told me yesterday it wasn't necessary. He also said I could have NSAIDs. I'm just 3 months out. I guess I am even more confused with conflicting info. Anyone else hear that a medical card or Bracelet was unnecessary?

Even if it is unnecessary it couldn't hurt anything.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
