juliek 0 Posted June 9, 2006 Good question, I was just thinking about having one done. I would have "gastric band" put on it, I think. I was asking my regular dr about this and she thought it was a good idea because if you are ever in an emergency situation, it would be helpful for any dr to know you had it done. What does everyone else think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coyotegirl 3 Posted June 9, 2006 I have one and it reads.. GASTRIC LAP-BAND IF TUBING REQUIRED MUST USE SCOPE MORE INFO IN WALLET I put " more info in wallet" because EMT'S don't usually look in your wallet unless told to. In my wallet I have more info on my band, Dr.'s #, allergies and so on. The "must use scope" is really for stomach tubes not breathing tubes but I would think EMT's would know this.

nursekathy2u 0 Posted June 12, 2006 mine has my allergies on it too.. it says Lap Band patient, caution with NG tube or EGD NSAIDS, ASA and Toradol cause anaphylaxis. once I got it I realized I had not listed my Latex allergy so I will have to get it redone. I only got the tag for $15.00 and made the Bracelet part myself.. I have several to go with different outfits. I recommed the bracelet over the necklace because one of the first things they do in ER or Ambulance is start an IV and they would be sure to see a bracelet.

piercedqt78 658 Posted June 12, 2006 I was warned by a paramedic friend that bracelets that look too much like jewlery is usually overlooked. Make sure it has a noticable medical (cadus?) symbol on it. Mine says Adjust.
