Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  ID Braclets Hey everyone..........I think I saw this on here before but it was a while back and I totally forgot about it and now Im wondering........ how many of you fellow by pass patients wear a medical id bracelet? My mom happened to be flying this past week and somehow got talking to a nurse on the plane and etc......well the woman mentioend that I should be wearing a medical id bracelet god forbid something happens and Im out of it and this way medics are alearted to the fact that I have had the surgery. How many of you wear these bracelets?????? Also I havent seen them in a while but years ago the medical id bracelts were bery ugly. Didnt like the looks of them. Silver and kinda klunky and not too fashionable. not that it should matter.  maybe they make nicer ones now a days. Thanks everyone.

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.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | i dont wear one but i was thinking about this too for some reason recently. like if i get into an accident or something, they need to know.....hmmm. let me know if you find out where to get one other than medic alert. i was going to just get a reular id bracelette and have it engraved because it would look nicer but let me know if you find something.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | I got my mom one after her stroke and I will have to find the website for it. They are absolutely beautiful! There was svwarsky (sp) crystals, pearls and all kinds...they look like really nice bracelets. Let me see if I can find it...they are kind of pricey though. I think hers was $90.00. I would have never thought about this either. A medic alert bracelet for a GBP patient??!! Last edited by kimtindall : 08-19-2007 at 02:09 PM. |
