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.

      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.
