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

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?

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 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.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
