***MEDIC ALERT BRACELET INFO****

[Guest guest]

I just ordered one online at _www.AmericanMedical-ID.com_

(http://www.AmericanMedical-ID.com)

I paid $38 (for stainless steel bracelet.) I paid an extra $7 to have it

done next day rather than 2 to 3 weeks, and $6 for shipping. No cost to engrave.

I had the front and back engraved because there was so much to put on it!

On the front I had:

Dana Lynn Colan

In emergency call

KSSF (650)742-2000

Ask for Bariatric

Surgeon on call

On the back it will say:

Roux-En-Y gastric bypass

No NG tube,use endoscope

No NSAIDS.No Aspirin

No Aspirin derivatives

Medic Alert bracelets are a good idea for weight loss surgery people

for life since our pouch's could be punctured if we are rendered

unconscious or mute and need emergency medical care and our surgery

is unknown to an ER doctor or paramedic.

There are many sites out there that sell the beaded Medi Alert

bracelets but an ER doctor friend advises NOT to jazz up a medic

alert bracelet, lest a paramedic overlook it as costume jewelry

rather than the purpose intended.

A good idea might be wear one as a medallion around the neck and

also keeping a Medic Alert card attached to your drivers license,

passport or primary picture ID.

One thing I thought of is that I put my blood type on the front of the dog

tag with my name, all the other info was able to fit on the back........Just

a thought for anybody else getting one.
