Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, usually abbreviated to NSAIDs—but also referred to as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents/analgesics (NSAIAs) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIMs)—are a class of drugs that provide analgesic and antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects, and, in higher doses, anti-inflammatory effects.

I have my name...

Gastric Bypass

NO BLIND NG TUBES

NO NSAIDS/NO SUGARS

ICE (my sisters phone number)

I don't think I can fit all my info on one lol

I guess I could put it this way:

Name

Gastric Bypass RNY

No blind NG tube

No NSAIDS/penicillin

ICE

I guess I could put it this way:

Name

Gastric Bypass RNY

No blind NG tube

No NSAIDS/penicillin

ICE

I couldn't fit all mine on either so I picked the most important things til I can order another one

I guess I could eliminate the ICE line to add more info. I already have emergency contact info in my phone and on my health care proxy.

I have a titanium one that I have been wearing for almost a year now. Cost about $40 from Costco. Simply states....LP Shunt, Gastric Bypass, Psuedotumor Cerebrei
