I dont have that piercing but absolutely no jewelry in surgery per my surgeon, also no nail polish, lotion, makeup, etc and no shaving 3 days prior to surgery.

I can't take my Tragus out because it's too tight. The nurse told me to let them know when I go in and they will put tape over it.

What about acrylics or gel tips on your nails! I have my daughter's wedding one week before surgery and she wanted us to get our nails and toes done together. If I can't keep my nails, I'll just get a Mani with clear coat. Thanks in advance if anyone has first-hand experience and knows the answer.

@TheNewMrsR None. I had gel and had to take it off - they need to see your nail beds while you are knocked out, also the pulse-ox on your index finger won't read your oxygen level correctly with polish on.

I don't want to get there and have them delay surgery to get it off.

Thanks! I'll just get a clear coat and remove it before surgery then. Glad I asked before spending a lot of money on it!

I was told by the OR nurse that acrylics and light polish is okay. This was when I went in for my endoscopy. She said the reason for no dark polish is because the pulse thingy can't read through the polish, but light-colored polish is okay. I guess every OR is different.

Congrats on the wedding and best wishes on your surgery.

Google is your friend.

It's the center part of your ear. The little triangle piece that pokes out opposite the C the ear forms

I believe the diath is lower and Tragus is upper but might have it mixed up

Ask your surgeon. I did and mine said it was fine they didn't need to see the nail bed and the pulse ox worked fine with polish.

But ask YOUR surgeon (to the poster who asked!)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
