ISleevedIt 380 Posted February 1, 2013 I'm excited about WLS. My date is 2/21. I want to order one now. I plan on putting the surgery date on it, but I'm afraid I would jinx my date if I were to order a Bracelet now. I want a sterling silver (maybe stainless steel) where the medical emblem is clear (or blue) and to put my name, VSGastrectomy 02/12/2013,No blind NG tube, and no/limit nsaids on the bracelet. Been surfing the web and have bookedmarked many of them. I mainly want it for the keepsake of when I have the surgery ...ok, I guess it's a good medical alert also. Anybody else feel this way?

joatsaint 2,814 Posted February 1, 2013 Man, you are so weird! Why can't you be like the rest and want your stomach in a jar as a keepsake? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ISleevedIt 380 Posted February 1, 2013 Man, you are so weird! Why can't you be like the rest and want your stomach in a jar as a keepsake? Hahaha! I want that too. I forgot to ask the doctor about it, but when I go in for my pre-op visit, I'm going to ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joatsaint 2,814 Posted February 1, 2013 Sorry, but from what I've read on here, is is consider a bio-hazard and have to dispose of it accordingly. But ask away, especially if you are going to Mexico for the surgery. They may have different rules, it'll probably be given to you in a jar of tequila with a worm.

KRB829 47 Posted February 1, 2013 I have one and I wear it everyday. My husband had it made for me, it's made out of diamonds, and platinum He presented it to me the day I was leaving the hospital. Mine has my surgery date and how much I weighed on the inside of the Bracelet, for my eyes only. I look at how much I use to weigh when I have cravings for junk, it's a great reminder. I'm never turning back:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pen 33 Posted February 1, 2013 I read about getting one of these but my doc told me yesterday it wasn't necessary. He also said I could have NSAIDs. I'm just 3 months out. I guess I am even more confused with conflicting info. Anyone else hear that a medical card or Bracelet was unnecessary? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
