The Redhead Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Does anyone wear a medic alert that you have a lap band. I'm curious because I was just checking out things on ebay and I noticed a lap band necklace that indicates on the back 'Lap Band No Blind NG Tube'. I'm wondering is this necessary? How deep is an NG tube inserted? ...better safe than sorry, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Naso-Gastric tubes are used for: stomach decompression, feeding, and meds. If they don't scope you, they run the risk of damaging your pouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing, the chain's too long and it's an over-the-head with no clasp. I'm gonna get a new chain for it. [it sits right between my boobs and bugs the heck outta me ] Anyways, I feel the way you do, ... better safe than sorry! Oh ya,.... the guy who sells the necklaces is really nice. I ask if he could put ASTHMA on the necklace also and he did it for free!! Darlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
