It's critical to have a medical alert device such as a bracelet, keychain or necklace to indicate you have had a gastric bypass. You can also get a FREE emergency medical card at the following link or you can make your own:

Include the following in the condition area:
Gastric Bypass (plus date and year of surgery)
NO blind NG tube
NO NSAIDS/No sugars
(I had to use the patient advocate line to fit everything in plus I highlighted all of the above with a yellow highlight marker)
There are also sections for patient advocate, emergency contact and PCP contact information.
