Do we need a Bracelet?

[BigMomma1981 0]

Some Docs give you a card that came with your band and some dont. Check with your doc to see but if they didnt give it to you then you can wear a Bracelet.< /p>

Hi Harold.....are you ready for tomorrow? That's our big day! I'm on Clear Liquids all day today....how about you? And as far as the medic alert thing goes, my surgeon recommended getting one. They give their patients a pretty comprehensive booklet on what to expect before, during and after, and this was in the special discharge instructions....there have been some pretty good points made here....the NG tube is a case in point. Good thinking!

Hi acadiamom: Did not see your post till today but I was on liquids for 2 days be for Surgery. Now as for my Surgery it went real well for me. I did spend the night in the Hospital my choice. I am home no shoulder pain or gas pain and scheduled for staple removal 11-26.

To help heal the new pouch I have been placed on liquids for a week how about you ?

I wish there was a card that said, "LAP Band patient, please give children's discount at all buffets."

My Doctor did give me two cards and one does say what size band I have and at the bottom it does state that this person cannot eat put small portions of food. I was told I could show this when I go out to eat, just dont know if it will work.
