Why wouldn't you be allowed to paint your nails? I don't see why not.

They want your fingernails clear of color so the pulse ox can read your oxygen level and your heart rate properly. Clear polish is ok and so is anything on your toes.

The question is a good one. I had clear polish and fake nails I was ok. The reason she asked was some hospital prefer no polish so the finger Oxygen Saturation machine reads acurately.

I am ok, just having some discomfort in my incisions. But I think it's from doing a bit too much. It's hard when you get home and immediately be Mom again. It took about 2 hours. Are you leaving tomorrow ?

Why does. It take so long to get across the border. Are you waiting in the van the whole time? My plane leave around 11am so will they be wanting to leave for airport around 8am. Just trying to get everything figured out

Yes you wait in the van the whole time. It is just congested with cars trying to cross. It was actually interesting to see all the stuff that the people are selling on the way out. But when you get to the officer at the station, just remember to only answer what they ask. If you talk too much it's a sign of lying and they will get suspicious. And they are ALL business no joking around.

I wasn't supposed to but I had acrylic nails on. They said it was fine for me to take the nail polish off my toes instead of ruining my fingernails nails I got the week before haha

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
