What if u had plastic rings? Cuz when i saw the gastro doctor he told me for my endoscopy he said i could keep it in..he sees no problem with it...so thats kind of confusing...did u have alot of piercings?

[Brighteyes 237]

Yes, I have several and all of them had to come out. Even while I was getting ready in pre op at the hospital the nurse reminded me all body jewelry had to come out. It didn't matter what kind

If you have a complication and you need an X-ray, MRI or cat scan, you can have no metal and the doctors need a clear view. No jewelry.

Some can be covered with tape if on face or ears. I'm not sure about oral or nasal type piercings.

I think u should speak w/ surgeon & anasthesia teams.

What if i got a plastic toung ring???? Or a plastic retainer..do u think that'll do?

[RebecaSparkles 247]

I doubt they'll be ok w/ the tongue ring. Even if plastic.

I used to have my tongue pierced too.

I bet if its not new new that you'll be ok to take our for the 1-2 hours your surgery will take. You can put it back in once in recovery & extubated.

I think that will work, but call and ask if you can just to make sure. u dont want to buy things u dont really need.
