What did you wear surgery day?

All of the "jewelry looking" bracelets have a medical alert charm. It would defeat the purpose of wearing a medical alert Bracelet if first responders thought it was jewelry. It all comes down to preference, to each his own. I would invite everyone to take a look at the bracelets and necklaces from Lauren's Hope. There are a lot of different styles, and lots of room for engraving medical information!

I totally agree that it would defeat the purpose. I thought my watch was very clear. It has the medical symbol with "See Other Side" on it. Only to be told by a first responder they they'd not spot it, nor remove it to see what it says. He said they are looking quickly for something very distinct, and that they'd miss a watch and perhaps more jewelry like items. So, I was wasted money. Thus my word of caution.

I did not mean it to sound like a slam on a beaded bracelet with a large charm, sorry if it did.

Lauren's Hope has very beautiful bracelets, most with large charms!

I had worn in a strechy cotton Capris and a very large cotton t shirt with a front clasp bra. Due to where my incisions are I decided not to wear the bra. I had no problem putting on socks sat on the hosiptal bed and pulled my leg up. I wore sneckers that I could slide on. My shirt was pretty big. Advise I read here included to bring a pillow (I used one from my couch) to put between you and the seat belt. I do think that helped.
