Guest guest Posted May 8, 2001 Report Share Posted May 8, 2001 Hi Long time no hear but glad your back in the land of the living. I would love 1 of those cards I know when I travel I always take my Lapband book in case I might run into trouble,but never had to show it . Mind you I never thought to ask or if there were any warning thing's. I had a Medic Alert bracelet years ago for a blood condition,which has now disappeared but I would get a bit annoyed at people asking about it at times. My band is not a secret but I don't go around broadcasting it either,So I'm not sure I would want something that would draw attention to it,but if it saves your life it can't be to bad. I just keep my crossed that I will be with someone who knows that I have a lapband if an emergency crops up. There are sure to be a lot of other people in the world that have had special surgeries and other things that like us. We have to take things as we find them and worry later if something becomes a problem.
