Smile got my bracelet!

I love my medical alert bracelet! The shape fits nice and it's comfy, so I know I'll leave it on. It goes on tough, so you know it won't fall off!!!!! I got it on ebay for a flat $15 (engraving + shipping was free). I figured a pretty one could be disreguarded as just a regular bracelet, so no one will think something this plain is anything but a medical alert bracelet!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

hummmm is this to alert someone of the RNY surgery? I never thought of that. That's a good idea though.

It says:
KELLY DIAZ
GASTRIC BYPASS
NO NG TUBE
WITHOUT SCOPE

Actually, this is a seprate story because it wouldn't have mattered if this person had a bracelet or not, but I heard a stroy from one of our anesthetists(nurse) about something that happened where her husband is an anesthesiologist (Dr). A lady was having her TT after RNY and for whatever reason either the info didn't get passed on or someone didn't empahasize it during their lunch relief and they suctioned her out and perfed her pouch. They always suction stomach contents, even if you're NPO for surgery, so they DEFINITELY do it if it's an emergency so you don't aspirate any stomach contents. They are always aggresive and go far to get to the bottom of a mornal stomach. They had to keep her under and call in the guy who did the RNY to fix her stomach. Can you say LAWSUIT!

Im proud of you. Yes ladies get a braclet or necklace to alert EMT or anyone about your surgery. Dont go for the anklets though because that is the last place any medical professional is trained to look unless its a injury to that area. So be good to yourself like greensgirl and get one!

GASTRIC BYPASS BRACELET MEDICAL ID ALERT - eBay (item 370046011023 end time May-01-08 16:05:02 PDT)

Hopefully this worked. Either the pic might show or you can click on the link. I got a plain one because I figured if it's too pretty and the tag part with the words is not showing, they wouldn't think to look for it because they'd think it was a regular bracelet. This one is so plain it has to be a medical one!
