Some people have them, I've debated, but probably not going to.

I bought one. Waiting for it to arrive. I included my Dr's number as well as no blind NG tube. I ordered from Lauren's Hope. They are a little pricey but it was important to me that mine look like jewelry and be discreet vs. shouting special medical condition.

My doctor suggests that we get one. I have one. It has my name on it and Gastric Sleeve. It says caution with NG tubes and NSAIDS... and has my doctor's name on it.

lol, thanks Fyre Storm.! I personally didn't get one because I wanted one that looked like jewelry, but if it were an emergency they wouldn't be looking closely at my jewelry to check for the tag unless its obvious...don't believe they would see it.

I got mine yesterday. I ordered a necklace and to the casual observer they probably won't notice the medical symbol unless they are checking out my jewelry but to a medical person it is obvious. The pendants is a dark grey scroll cross design but in the middle is the bright red symbol and it is raised to the touch. On the back is all my info so either way I think they would see it. Regardless, it makes me safer having it on.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
