I just ordered a Medical ID Key Chain from Lauren's Hope. I think its a good idea to carry one and Lauren's Hope has many unique Bracelet and necklace styles. I bought a purple dog tag style ID.

The company suggests that you put your name, Gastric Sleeve and the date of surgery, No Blind NG tube, Doctor's phone number and emergency contact.

interesting. I asked my surgeon about this and he said that apart from the 5 weeks immediately after surgery he did not feel there was a need. go figure. I am undecided. all my life I have been unable to wear bracelets or necklaces because after a month or so they irritate me and I take them off. Even now I dont wear a watch for the same reason. Perhaps with smaller wrists that will get better?

Hi Alex... That's why I decided to buy a medical ID key chain. You could also hang an ID necklace on your car's rearview mirror.

      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! 😞
