As anyone in here had surgery with tips/artificial nails? If so did they want your polish off or did they say nothing or something?

I'm having surgery on Wednesday and I wear tips they didn't tell me anything about them just leave the jewelry at home and gave me an antibacterial soap to bathe with.so no I don't think it should be a problem

Usually the problem is the color. The pulse ox cant "see" through the color.

I've worn nails for close to 30 years and had my surgery with them on. I also had on hot pink polish on ny toes with rhinestones. It's not a problem.

Thanks ladies.. I had 3 kids with tips & nail polish & it wasn't a problem.

Now I'm like being told there might be an issue with my nails & I told the surgeon I'm not removing my nails or nail polish.

No, there won't be a problem with the nails, you just can't wear any metal, or wigs with metal in it.

How much weight do you have left to lose before the surgery if you don't mind me asking? I have some tips. I was nervous about that too, because my surgery was 2 weeks after Thanksgiving lol. I was afraid they were going to cancel my surgery before I got to the operating table lol. But I came within 3 lbs of the goal the surgeon set for me. I was soooo relieved the day of my surgery lol.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
