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 don't have acrylics anymore, moved on to my natural nails with shellac/gel polish! It's awesome! Yes, I had to remove my nail polish before surgery. They look at your nails for oxygen content. You may want to ask.

Because your on a liquid diet for 3 weeks (stage post op)and while in the hospital they pump u up with liquids hence fourth the peeing

Thankfully I didn't have a 3 week liquid diet. Went home on purred foods, soft after one week.

I have surgery 5/30/12 next Wednesday. Soon can't believe the day is getting so close. I'm on a low calorie diet. 2 shakes 2 snack & one meal dinner veggies & a piece of meat.

I asked about the nails & requested for my nails to be left alone. I had 3-c sections & I had nails with polish & all threw out it all. The surgeon made an expection for me. It's just part of my life,and I can't see my self with out my nails. It's like I wouldn't be struggling so much if I didn't have kids. Some people may find it silly it's just nails,but I been doing my nails for over 10 years,and it's part of me. On my body right now that's the only thing I care about when it comes to surgery. On my everyday life. I always have my wedding band I wear proudly even though my husband doesn't deserve for me to wear it. I have a ring my daughter bought me years ago for mother's day. On my left hand no rings I limited it. I do have a Bracelet. I have an ID bracelet on my left hand also. A chain with 3 shoes for my kids. Earrings. I love my gold & I never take them off except for washing them,and it has become part of my life,but the moment I get discharge from the hospital my family will bring all my gold back so I'll be wearing it leaving the hospital. They know me very well & I would feel so nude with out it. It's part of me.

      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.
