Searching for a nice medical alert bracelet. I've been reading it's a good idea for those of us whose has WLS. Has anyone purchased one for WLS and if so what info did u display?

I'm considering:

First & last name

VSG 4/14/14

No Blind NG No NSAIDS

Surgeon or PCP contact info

You know, I asked my PCP about getting a medicalert bracelet or necklace and she said it probably wasn't necessary. I didn't even think about the NSAIDS, I was thinking directly about the stomach.

I just mentioned this to my husband...he's making me get one now!!!!! LOL

Yeah I think it's a great idea. It appears drs r recommending them.

I bought a necklace. It has my name, procedure, dr.'s name and his phone number.

I have one because I'm a diabetic. After the surgery, I got a new one. It reads:

My name

Diabetic

No ASA, No NSAIDS, NGT

No Penicillin

I.C.E (husbands cell #)

This is the second bracelet I've gotten from laurenshope.com. Many styles to chose from and very comfortable. A little pricy, but worth it. My last one was 4 years old and I would still be wearing it. but the message had to be changed and the bracelet was getting to be too large from the weigh loss.

I would suggest getting a bracelet/necklase. Why take the risk, ya know?

Yes I feel the same way it's better safe than sorry.

I had not thought of this and will have to discuss with my Dr.

So glad I saw this post! Would have never had thought to get one. The Laurenshope website has so many pretty bracelets. Just need to decide what to put on it.

I just ordered mine from Lauren's Hope.

I ordered one from laurenshope.com for each member of my household as we each have our own issues :-)

I just ordered one from Lauren's Hope also. I have a drug allergy and that with the sleeve probably warrants having one. Plus if I'm at the gym or out walking and something happens to me, I can be identified.

what a great idea.

N-style id has tons of bracelets and id necklaces and the prices are awesome, I found them after I bought from laurenshope because laurens hope was expensive and I needed to get another id for my hubby.
