Is it a medical ID bracelet that states you had lap band surgery? Do we need to do that?

Go Margo..Go Margo... we are excited for you too. Remember it will help you if you help it. Ok now....I want a bracelet. I wonder if the band will send off a metal detector or a hand held wand.

Congrats Margo !!!!
Sherri, I don't know if its required to wear one, but I know I'll have one for sure. If there's ever an emergency physicians need to know.
Hugs

I didn't get one yet b/c I don't even have a surgery date but I'm sure the doctors office can tell you exactly what to put on it.

O.K., I am trying to remember the exact wording...the bracelet is upstairs and since I am on my 13th day of liquid of which yesterday and today are only clear liquids, I don't have the energy to go upstairs and check my bracelet!!! Anyway, as I remember it says: Gastric Lap Band, if tubing is required must use scope.

Usually they say something like "Adjustable Gastric Band, no tube without scope".
I apologize to those who have read this before, but since we are talking about such a serious subject, here it is:
(I have been an EMT for 25 years and teach new EMTs)
If you buy a "medic-alert" bracelet, try to avoid the ones that look like fancy jewelry, those may be passed off as jewelry and not noticed until later or not at all.
In a serious emergency, a necklace or wrist bracelet will be noticed well before an ankle bracelet.
If you have other health problems, consider subscribing with a company that will provide you with a bracelet/necklace that has their "800" number on it with a patient ID number, with no specific medical information. In an emergency the medical staff calls the 800 number and they provide a detailed medical history, your medications, insurance information, doctor's names, and emergency contact information. Aside from the obvious advantages here, the information can be continuously updated by you, so the information is always current and you don't have to keep buying new tags when your conditions change. The mere presence of a tag will prompt an experienced medical professional to check a wallet for more information | |
