Gastric Bypass Cards..

[TessG]

I would be interested too. (although I've got a sleeve so not sure how your planning on wording it)

 

[dawny]

hanisreg, i would imagine the wording would be something like gastric surgery, rather a specific op.

 

[emma-louise]

You know dawny I hadn't thought about needing to wear some medical info about the bypass.
Do the doctors/nurses at Salford advise it all?and what do you need to put on an id tag/bracelet?
Thanks x

 

[emma ruth]

that sounds lke a really gud idea xxxx

Hi guys still looking into this and getting quotes ... Just been poorly with tummy issues. Quotes I have had back range from £2 per card to £4 per card - depending on how many we get.

I will update everyone later and start coming up with designs..

 

[dawny]

aw i hope you feel better soon scarlet, just concentrate on getting well huni, the cards can wait for a while cant they, that amount sounds ok to me.

emm n emm, on mine ive got '' rny gastric bypass, no nsaids, no sugar, no blind ng tube, salford royal hosp. complex spinal con. and hospital number'' mine is just a stainless steel dog tag, and the company i got it from engraved for me, they also send a card, and a little open up card, where you can put more info, and then put it in your purse/handbag. there is also a tiny red st christopher type thing on the tag, with the medical logo on. oh and it has my name on other side of it. i got mine a few weeks after my op, and a nurse on here told us what to put, as she worked in a and e, and had one herself.
hope this helps, oh i got mine from 'universal medical' but there are a few others out there, just google it

I wear a sos tallisman on a bracelet and its quite nice, its the shape of a 50p coin and has and has a 2 tone purple enamel on it, so if you are wanting a meditag there are some nice ones to be found. I wear mine because I am diabetic but I am hoping after my bypass I wont need it anymore and I can go out untagged..

Hope you are feeling a bit better Scarlet (HUG) Like Dawn says make sure you look after yourself first! The price of the cards sounds fine to me too XX

I'd be really interested. We're off to Paris at end of April (won a comp) so perhaps I should have one in French! Only joking - English will do nicely!

I don't know if this has already been posted but I found out yesterday from a nice lady in L&D waiting room that BOSPA provide you with a card like this when you join - £15.00 lifetime membership.
