Emergency Room Cheat Sheet for Bariatric Patients

A message from Antonia Namnath, President of the Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America:

"Please print out the attached Emergency Room Cheat Sheet for Bariatric Patients. It can and has saved lives! Keep it with you at all times, keep a copy at work, in the car, on the fridge ETC."

I couldn't agree with her more!
