 Yes. I do. It referrs to my WLS and my reactive hypoglycemia. Here's a photo of it (it's the dangling medallian on a plain chain... I wear it on the same wrist as my pandora bracelet):

I wear one. I consider it necessary in case something happens to me and I can't tell the EMS. Its important in my case because no matter how many times i tell my family about nsaids, asprin, and the ng tube thing they never seem to retain the info. They wouldn't know what to tell a doc or EMS. Its a simple bracelet that i got off of ebay for $16.

Yes, I do.  I have a couple that I got from Lauren's Hope; they are pretty and just look like regular bracelets (a large choice and price range is available). Mine has my name, and then says "GASTRIC BYPASS; NO BLIND NG TUBE"  and then lists my allergy to sulfa.  I figure if I'm in an accident or am unable to communicate for some reason, it gives medics and doctors information that would be helpful in treating me.

Yes I do. I got mine from American Medical ID but Lauren's Hope has really pretty ones too.
