October 5, 201213 yr I was wondering if anyone has a bracelet to show they had surgery. Something similar to a diabetic one or medicine allergy.
October 5, 201213 yr I do mainly for the reason of the no blind ng and nsaids Sent from my DROID RAZR using RNYTalk
October 5, 201213 yr Yes I bought the the plaque on eBay and made a pretty braclet to go with it. Same reason to no blind tube and nsaids

October 6, 201213 yr Yep - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12 Really nice. Can you share the website?
October 6, 201213 yr I have one. I got mine from Lauren's Hope. Google it. You can order the tag and put up to 5 lines on it and she has lots of bracelets to choose from. All different price ranges. I bought one and now I'm making other bracelets on my own.
October 7, 201213 yr tube down your throat to help you breath. They way to put no blind NG tube on your bracelet because if you're out cold and they need to breath for you they use an NG tube. It's dangerous to do it blindly for anyone not just RNY patients but, because we have a pouch not the regular stomach we're more at risk of puncture. From what I understand though...it's very difficult to get the ng tube down the wrong pipe...I think an EMT said that on here before but, in a rush it can happen. BAsically thought it is a risk doing it blindly and can puncture our pouch so it's best to let them know. My tag says: Gastric Bypass Latex Allergy No blind ng tubes Husband: (phone number) Home: (phone number) and that's it...that's my 5 lines. If you don't have all 5 lines you can put your name on the first line. For me it was more important they knew about my latex allergy than my name
