My husband and I just ordered are bracelets off lauren's hope.. Best thing we did since we had surgery.. If you do not have a bracelet or medical card after an accident or in an emergency you are putting yourself at risk for EMT to treat you with out knowing what life saving equipment they can...
My husband and I was told in group that Not many or if any doctors will see a patient who has had weight loss surgery done outside of the United States and Mexico..This is to protect them from any liability..This is a life change and you will need a doctor for the rest of your life who knows...
I will add links to some sites that have weight loss surgery support groups...

Hope these links help..
