Question About Nails

[TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280]

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.

Lol

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.

I think it depends on the surgeon. Mine told me no polish.

So I had surgery on wed and only one nurse has a problem with my nails. Every one else was pretty cool with it
