joybl 9 Posted June 3, 2012 the other thing that I'm nervous about is waking up and screaming help. I don't want to be that person that is freaking out when waking up lol I woke up normal in room and had to get up and walk around the hospital, but who knows what I did or said in the recovery room. They knew I was concerned going in and said they have seen it all before, no worries. No one said anything to me and The last thing I remember is counting for the anesthesia.

joybl 9 Posted June 3, 2012 Thank you.. I'm nervous about taking out my nose ring and it closing up n having toget it repierced again. Lol I've already had it done twice Will they let you wear a small stud? If not put it back in as soon as you wake up. Doubt if it will close in just a few hours.

Jenn31MA 149 Posted June 3, 2012 Thank you.. I'm nervous about taking out my nose ring and it closing up n having toget it repierced again. Lol I've already had it done twice When i had my gallbladder out i had a ton of piercings..(tongue, navel, ears, nose) and for my nose i used a lil bit of fishing line and tied a knot and cut off the excess. I couldn't even tell i had something in my nose like i do my stud now. This is my second time having my nose pierced so i know for a fact they close fast (faster then most). They also make clear plastic studs that can be used for surgeries..i think the thing they do not want is the metal. I would confirm if you can just use a clear plastic stud or if not think about the fishing line or something similar and when you are in recovery you can probably put it back in. That is something ill have to ask my surgeon when i see him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
