Medic alert tags and bracelets



Recommended Posts

We were talking about this in another thread somewhere, so I looked at different websites, and jeez! They were wanting $50 t0 $70 dollars for the cute ones! In stainless steel. I don't even want to talk about the gold ones. Sooooo, I ordered just the tag ($10). I went to the craft store and got some lobster claw clasps, some beading wire and some stretchy plastic, already had some cool beads (husband collected them for a while) and made my own cool bracelets! They have a lobster claw on each end, so they will clip onto the tag on both sides. Once you figure out what you want on them, it doesn't take long, but I suggest you read about how to fasten the clasps on, so they will stay fastened. I just bought a beading instruction book at the same craft store.

I do think it would be a good idea to wear one, but if you are discreet about your surgery, then I don't know what you would do. I'm kinda boastful about having a lapband, so it doesn't bother me to flaunt a pretty bracelet!

Thought someone might get inspiration from this idea. Cindy

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
