mommyjamie 83 Posted April 29, 2014 Do any of you have a medical alert Bracelet? I think I read somewhere that this is important after bariatric surgery. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texasmeg 568 Posted April 29, 2014 Good question. My doctor gave me a card to carry in my wallet - but they'd never locate it in time with all the junk I have in there! I wondered the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Recycled 2,182 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I can't imagine what for. The only consideration is a smaller stomach and nothing is getting in there unless you are conscious. And if you are awake you can just tell them. Am I missing something. I am referring to a sleeve only. I certainly could see the need with Lap-Band or RNY.

chris1142 148 Posted April 29, 2014 I have the sleeve and was told to get one that said "no blind gastro nasal tubes" on it as they could puncture our sleeves. Also I'm diabetic so that's on there even though I'm off all meds for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
