Do you have a medic alert ID?

That is a nice one. I like it. Maybe a christmas gift? Or, hey I lost 50 pounds now I'm buying myself a gift type deal? ~Mandy

Are you really supposed to wear them on the left arm? I hadn't heard that before. I've been wearing it on my right.

I got mine from Canadian Medic Alert. It says:

Diabetes on Insulin

Gastric Lap Band: Needs flouroscopy with NG tube

It also has an ID # and an 800# that medical personnel can call to get more details with all my medical history as well as my doctor's contact information and my emergency contact information.

I got a very plain stainless steel bracelet because I did not want it to be mistaken for jewelery of any sort. I feel much better having it.

Argh. I have a tattoo on my left arm and I don't wear anything on it. I know the Medic ID is about safety and not accessorizing (and believe me, it certainly is the ugliest piece of "jewelry" I have), but I really don't want to wear it on my left arm.

I think if its the " Obvious " medical ID type your probably ok wearing it on your Right arm . if its more of the jewelry type I would wear it on the Left .

Just my opinion .

Thanks, Mindy. I have the super basic version, so I don't think anyone is going to mistake it for a bracelet from Tiffany & Co. Hopefully if I am ever in a situation that requires a medical professional to see the id, they will have the wherewithall to check out my right wrist.

I purcased a medical alert bracelet today from www.bodyilluminations.com and when my order was received the owner Hollie had a few questions about my order and I called her at (954)525-6995 and she was very helpful and saved me money from my original order. The bands are interchangeable and I put Gastric Lapband No Tube without Scope. Check out the website she has alot to chose from. I choose the double stand medical alert bracelet with a charm.

Is anyone with the laurens hope bracelet intersted in doing a swap or something for a smaller band for me ?? Mine is too big now and I need a smaller one . I thought we could do some kind of swap or something ???

I figured the one's who have smaller one's are just sitting around not being used . Ide be willing to work something out ... swap , trade, exchange ??

Let me know

Hi Mindy -- Try going to a Cracker Barrell -- they are selling braclets $5.99 that connect to a watch face (cost??). Wear your braclet and give it a shot. I am going to.

When I saw them I didn't have my LHB on - I am like you getting to big.

LH also will resize if you send back to them.

I wonder what quality the Cracker Barrell ones are ? Thanks for the tip though

I've read the first page....

never even considered it.... what's the purpose?

So, if you are unable to communicate...they may look at the bracelet. And if you are unconcious...there will be no food going down anyways...only an iv.

Why do we need one?

The question to ponder is why are you unconcious -- are you breathing?

There is tube that they place down your throat - and if they don't know about the LapBand they can puncture your esophogus (sp?)/area due to restriction we have.

The braclet let's them know - No BLIND TUBE - gastric banding.

Hope that helps.

Wow, the tube goes all the way into the stomach?

never new that

A nurse told me it just goes down a bit into the trach...trachea....but it goes in the esophogas? I have do do a little bit more research on this one.
