Acrylic Nails

[Reina73 18]

Hello Everyone

I have a question for anyone who has had gastric bypass recently, my surgery date is 02-25-19 should I go and have my acrylic clear nails removed prior to surgery, I left a message for my surgery dept but have not heard back yet.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

We were advised at our nutrition class pre surgery that acrylics are allowed but no polish...so you have to at least remove the polish. That being said 1- you should check with your team (which you did already) and 2- you may very well not fill like going for a fill for a few weeks so you may just want to get them soaked off now and a nice manicure. Best of luck on your surgery!
