I work in a hospital ER and I will get a Bracelet (one of the ones that doesn't look like the traditional medical alert bracelets) for one reason. What if I am unconscious for whatever reason (trauma/drug reaction) and my family is not avaiable, I want the treating physician to know this there are several treatments done in haste that would need to be modified if you stomach can not handle the traditional volume. Better safe than sorry.

A LOT smaller about 4 oz capacity and if they were to not know that a small stomach is your "normal" it could cause all kinds of red flags.....its all personal preference

My doctor's office suggested one because due to the sleeve they said we are not suppose to have a blind NG tube, they said if they aren't careful the NG tube could puncture your new stomach.

It was highly suggested by my doctor's office to get one. I plan on getting one before my procedure but that is my preference.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
