Hi there, I will be having surgery this coming Thursday. Can I put color polish on my nails?

Thank you and wishing everyone a fast recovery.

I wasn't allowed to paint my nails before surgery - I don't know about others. Good luck on your journey!!

I've got gel nails on my fingers and color on my toes. No one has said anything to me. I go in on Monday for my surgery.

Best bet for you would be to call your doc's office and ask the nurse.

Best wishes on your surgery!

I just told my husband I better have these gels taken off and not put back on. Guess I'll give my nails some time to "breathe".

Same here, I have the same gel nails. I guess I don't have any choice, time to take them off:( and just getting a pedicure.

Love to here how you feel after the surgery:)

Wow, your Dr is nice. Mine told me that I need to remove any artificial nails and no color. Best of luck to you!

I colored my toes but did a french on my fingernails. They use a PS on your index finger to measure your O2 level. Colored nail polish makes it inaccurate and at times impossible.

I have artificial nails and they let me take my left index fingernail off. Ask your surgeon. They only need one nail-polish free finger for the finger oxygen meter they put on you during surgery. Nail polish and artificial nails can interfere with it.

I just called my surgical team coordinator to double-check and she says my fingers and toes are fine and I don't need to take any of it off.

Check with your offices if you're concerned. Every surgeon/hospital has different guidelines.
