Did anyone have restrictions of dying your hair?

Nope! I am pre op but my surgeon said it was fine to continue getting my nails and pedis done too. Some surgeons require you not to have any nail polish or toe polish on but mine said it was fine. I colored my hair last week and getting mani pedis tomorrow with a friend to get ready for surgery!

Make sure the hospital allows nail polish during surgery. I've never had a surgery where you were allowed it.

I Wasnt allowed to wear any make up or nail polish on the day of my surgery.

No issues, had my hair done 4 weeks out. No polish or makeup for surgery tho.

Nail polish on toes and fingernails are almost always a no-no during surgery for many reason but the biggest reason is that though they use a pulse oximeter to check for oxygen, nurses, doctor's etc. don't always rely on it, sometmies they come off, sometimes there may be an issue with it and the quickest way to check your blood oxygen level is by visually looking at your fingernails and toenails for blue pigmentation, indicating a large drop in oxygen.

Nail polish is also a fire hazard and you don't want to catch fire on the operating table. We were not allowed to use conditioner or deodarant the night before or day of as a fire precaution as well.

I go for my pre op pack and testing Monday so I am sure I will find out then. Who tells you guys all this stuff? My surgeon is the head of the bariatric program at the hospital and told me it was fine....but, I haven't spoken to anyone at the hospital yet. I wonder if they will go over all that when I register at the hospital??? Seems like when I had my gallbladder surgery I had the same requirements you guys are talking about but I recall being told that when I registered at the hospital. It was 10 yrs ago...and my memory isn't as good as it used to be...LOL

I was given a list of things when I registered a few days before my surgery.

[beautifulnewme2012 164]

I knew it was too good to be true!! LOL...I am still going to get them done tomorrow. I will look cute for 10 days then scrub them off...no harm no foul...and it will get me outta the house and not thinking about surgery all day!

Amen to that. I had to take out all my piercings too. As soon as I woke up, I put them all back in. Lol

Funny how all the medical dramas on TV (Grey's Anatomy) the surgeons are all decked out with mascara, gloss, so much hair product! You go to a real hospital and it's nothing like that!

I have my eyeliner tattooed on so it worked out nicely for me. I have 2 earrings I couldn't get out without alot of force so I left them in and they made me sign a paper saying they aren't responsible for any burns I get. In regards to hair dye I've been paranoid with that and hearing my hair could fall out. So I decided to leave it undyed for a while
