Medical ID Bracelet Important Information



Recommended Posts

I purchased a stainless steel medical ID Bracelet stating my medication allergy, Gastric Bypass and NO NG Tube. It's very important if you are ever in an accident the emergency personal and ER doctors know you had a gastric bypass. You can not get an NG tube unless done with a scope or Bariatric doctor. These bracelets are not expensive I paid $30.00 for mine on the Internet. It's a very stylish bracelet. The front has a medical insignia with my name and he year I was born (so they know how old I am).

I was thinking about doing the same thing. I got an ID Bracelet brochure at my pharmacy, you wouldn't believe all the styles available! I cant decide which one to get. :)

That has been a big discussion here on and off... But honestly I asked my sister who has been a paramedic for 11 years and she couldn't imagine any reason to ever do an NG tube in the field--no reason getting one in would ever be an emergency. It's for feeding---starvation is not a concern when they are trying to medicinally stabilize a patient in an emergency situation. She's never done one for sure.

I bought mine on Etsy. I have a sleeve tattoo and it was hard to find something that would stick out but this is so cute. I get compliments on it daily and she was very fast fulfilling my order. I highly recommend this shop. Also for anyone who is like me, has nails and refuses to remove jewelry for a shower, this is perfect.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
