The Redhead Posted November 3, 2008 Report 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?

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
