Funny you should ask..I just saw them on EBAY for Gastric Bypass patients..
for $10.00. I am not sure if that is a good price or not. Hope that helps.

GASTRIC BYPASS - DO NOT BLINDLY PLACE NG TUBE - USE ENDOSCOPE
I got it at http://www.americanmedical-id.com

I went to the site called (MakeMeThis.Com). I purchased a Medical ID
Bracelet for $9.90 that includes the cost of shipping ($3.95). I purchased
the child's size and it fits great (in fact, it is a little larger and I
had to take links off it). The wording I put on the bracelet was:
LINE 1: MY NAME
LINE 2: RNY GASTRIC BYPASS
LINE 3: NO NG TUBE W/O SCOPE
LINE 4: NO NSAIDS
LINE 5: MUST CARRY WATER
It is stainless steel. I have worn it from the day that I received it and
have never taken it off.
I'm sure that you will like this product as well.
Have a nice day.

There is a website called Laurenshope.com. They have pretty bracelets. They
should read, Gastric bypass or Gastric banding. Do Not Place NG tube
blindly. If you get one from medicalert they will charge you a yearly fee
to keep the information. Hope this helps. Mona
