If you have one, what information do you have on it? I know we there are many things needed and my nurse is faxing me a list. I just wanted to see what everyone else has been told.

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.  |

My doctor recommends that I get one, but I think it is more on preference. However, I think it's a great idea just incase something happens.

You should have one. Mine required I get one before he did the surgery and I had to show it to him! LOL. Like he said......its for our own good. I wear mine when im by myself. If the hubby or son is with me I dont wear it. They know the drill. LOL. Make sure its a bracelet or pendent. Some places offer them as anklets. EMT personal look for the pendent or bracelet not the anklets. |

My recommendation is a bracelet, and grouping your ICE (in case of emergency) phone numbers into one group in your cell phone. That way, EMTs and ER staff can quickly know where/who to contact if there's the need to. I have "Family" grouped into one, and have them listed in their full names and their relation to me e.g. A-husband, B-child , C-child, D-mother, E-brother, F-SIL and so on.

I have a question for you doc and any EMT's. I've seen some pretty beaded medical bracelts that are cute. Some have a plate like standard bracelets and some have a charm. If a bracelet is that pretty and the plate or charm is turned around, will they even know it's a medical bracelet? Is it just better to go with the $15 standard bracelet?
