No. It is important, however, to notify all of your doctors, for the rest of your life, that youve had this surgery. If you have the RNYGB or the Lap-Band, and in a motor vehicle accident, passage of an NG tube might be a problem. Some patients prefer to wear a medical alert bracelet. This might be a good idea.
