Anyone else get the medic alert Bracelet or plan to get one?

Yes...just ordered one that reads:

Gastric Bypass

No NG tube w/o scope

No NSAIDS/Sugar

That's a good idea.

Thank you for suggesting it.

I want to get one but im not sure what all to put i know i want to put my surgeon and ICE plus gastric bypass no ng tube w/o scope and also no nsaids/sugar is an excellent idea!!! what are some other things we should be including allergies and ????

I didn't even think to do this. Is it a necessity?

[Jenibop2 38]

My surgeon highly suggests it in case I'm ever in an accident and can't tell the medics. Are insides are different now and they need to know that if we are unconscious.

I also didn't know we couldn't have NSAIDS or sugar ever again....? Especially if it were an emergency situation?

[Jenibop2 38]

NSAIDS will cause ulcers and my Dr says we can never take them again and of course sugar will make us dump so they need to be aware of that if we are not conscious.

[ladykatie_ 117]

Hmmm, I'll have to talk to my doc about it. I understand the NSAIDS could cause ulcers but not always. And dumping syndrome couldn't be any worse than a horrible accident causing unconsciousness. I guess it's just a super extra precaution.

Better safe than sorry!!

I'd say ask your surgeon about their recommendation
