the reason for having it is.. if something happens they medical teams cannot give you NSAIDS nor instert a tube into your stomach blindly so they don't puncture it. They have to see your stomach on a screen now that it is smaller.


I’m not really that concerned with the nsaids, but I was never told I couldn’t have a tube in my stomach. To each their own, but I don’t think I’ll be getting a Med Bracelet.

I have a tag on my keychain with the doctors information as well as a “Nomination” type Bracelet with the appropriate medical ID links on it.

No BLIND NG tube, NO NSAIDS.

Was it similar to the one from Amazon Prime? $16.99 sounded like a reasonable👜 price to me.

No, I got it from Lauren's Hope. They have a huge selection and custom engraving. Pricey, but nice!

Hello!
Im not sure if anyone has started a topic on this yet, and I’m new here, but I was wondering what everyone’s views on the Medical Alert ID was? Some say we should absolutely have it, others say no.
What do you all think?
I'm thinking of getting one

Ladylike, beautiful but still carries the message. Pricey but I do LIKE IT. Going to talk to Dr Needleman Tuesday about expected duration of PICC in my arm, if it is longer than years end, I'm ordering that on there also. See it might be interesting that they can use the 2nd lumen for IVs, no more having to look for an accessible vein to start in..
But at very least,i should qualify on basis of RnY by itself, yeah?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
