I have recently seen people who have medical ID bracelets after WLS. Most common I have seen are "No Blind Intubation", and "No sugars or NSAIDS".

Are these common? My doctor hasnt said anything about it.

I had my surgery in August of 2016 and after reading another blog I thought best to get a medical I'd Bracelet. God forbid I am ever in an accident and not alert at least they would know about my surgery. Just like if you were diabetic or had a heart condition you would wear one. I feel better safe then sorry.

I got mine from RoadID. Look under gastric sleeve surgery ID bracelets.

@@haliib I won't wear a 'no blind intubation' Bracelet because if I *need* an emergent airway, I don't care if they blow my stomach out getting one. Blind intubations aren't common and not having a patent airway and being hypoxic is life threatening and more important than preserving the integrity of my sleeve.

There are different types of intubation though. Perhaps a 'no blind NG intubation' bracelet', lest they delay in establishing a patent airway in the eventuality a respiratory obstruction.

As for NSAIDS, ER personnel are already cautious about administering them. But, if you want the IDs get them..
