C'mon doc/nut....No nailpolish!



Recommended Posts

I took my gel polish off night before, and put it back on when I got home. I was at the hospital like 26 hours.

@pvechiola I used to spend about 2K a year on gel manicures. So it does matter, especially if you put a lot of time and effort into your appearance, you don't want to break your nails in a 24 hour time period and ruin months of hard work.

Same guidelines explained "you can wear nail polish as long as it is light" so I'm getting a mani pedi and i will ask my nails lady to put 2 layers of clear top coat

I love you.... Take off the polish and or fake nails, it's no big deal blue or unblanchable nail beds are first indicators of lack of oxygen especially for us chocolate folks we don't turn blue or grey or flush! It's a safety precaution! Pulseox can't read through nail polish or cold fingers! So schedule a nail appointment right after, I've read we'll feel normal on day 2

I can't even believe this is your main concern before having a major surgery. You're not going on a date you're having surgery.





Well...believe it! I never said it was my main concern...just a small formality I had questions about the hospital guidelines. This post was really directed as a comical moment during stressful times to pre-op women who pamper themselves. I'm not that superficial! As a matter of fact, I ran out of time the night before surgery AND left the polish on. No complaints. Surgery went well. I'm on my way to a much thinner me and I can't wait! Relax & get a mani/pedi...Girl, it's gonna be alright!

      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.
