Some people have them, I've debated, but probably not going to.

I bought one. Waiting for it to arrive. I included my Dr's number as well as no blind NG tube. I ordered from Lauren's Hope. They are a little pricey but it was important to me that mine look like jewelry and be discreet vs. shouting special medical condition.

My doctor suggests that we get one. I have one. It has my name on it and Gastric Sleeve. It says caution with NG tubes and NSAIDS... and has my doctor's name on it.

I asked my doc and he said no that our metabolic something something is the same or something.

lol, thanks Fyre Storm.! I personally didn't get one because I wanted one that looked like jewelry, but if it were an emergency they wouldn't be looking closely at my jewelry to check for the tag unless its obvious...don't believe they would see it.

Our doctor's must be related. mine said something somthing and maybe for the first 6 months....I bought a stainless steel one just in case.

I got mine yesterday. I ordered a necklace and to the casual observer they probably won't notice the medical symbol unless they are checking out my jewelry but to a medical person it is obvious. The pendants is a dark grey scroll cross design but in the middle is the bright red symbol and it is raised to the touch. On the back is all my info so either way I think they would see it. Regardless, it makes me safer having it on.
