fyre_storm 1,412 Posted December 5, 2012 In case your unconscious and there's no one around to let them know you've had the gastric sleeve. So they will take different precautions with the tube and drugs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delta_girl 931 Posted December 5, 2012 This has really never entered my mind. I'm curious if it is a significant risk for emergency services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephers65 14 Posted December 5, 2012 I'm in California and my Doctor recommends we get one for sure. If you were ever in a emergency situation all responders should know that you have had this proceeder just like Bypass patient or the needs of a Diabetic. The company I will be using is MedicAlert, they have brackets, necklaces that has a medical ID# on it and it will say Bariatric. It could save a life.

Susan 2.0 278 Posted December 5, 2012 There are lots of companies out there from which to order one. I ordered mine from Lauren's Hope. My PA suggested this for the tag: GASTRIC SLEEVE NO BLIND NG TUBE NO NSAIDS (I also added no aspartame as I am allergic to it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
