You know, I asked my PCP about getting a medicalert Bracelet or necklace and she said it probably wasn't necessary. I didn't even think about the NSAIDS, I was thinking directly about the stomach.

I just mentioned this to my husband...he's making me get one now!!!!! LOL

I have one because I'm a diabetic. After the surgery, I got a new one. It reads:

My name

Diabetic

No ASA, No NSAIDS, NGT

No Penicillin

I.C.E (husbands cell #)

This is the second Bracelet I've gotten from laurenshope.com. Many styles to chose from and very comfortable. A little pricy, but worth it. My last one was 4 years old and I would still be wearing it. but the message had to be changed and the bracelet was getting to be too large from the weigh loss.

I would suggest getting a bracelet/necklase. Why take the risk, ya know?

So glad I saw this post! Would have never had thought to get one. The Laurenshope website has so many pretty bracelets. Just need to decide what to put on it.

I ordered one from laurenshope.com for each member of my household as we each have our own issues :-)

I just ordered one from Lauren's Hope also. I have a drug allergy and that with the sleeve probably warrants having one. Plus if I'm at the gym or out walking and something happens to me, I can be identified.

N-style id has tons of bracelets and id necklaces and the prices are awesome, I found them after I bought from laurenshope because laurens hope was expensive and I needed to get another id for my hubby.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
