italianmama41 got a reaction from The.new.g in Piercings?
I'm an Registered Nurse in an Operating room and yes, you will most likely have to remove any piercings. The reason that we as nurses and doctors require that is because in the OR we use cautery (which helps to stop bleeding). If you have metal on your body you run the risk of getting an electrical burn (rare, but it happens). If that happens you may end up needing a skin graft, etc... If you're really worried, mention it to your surgeon, and ask if you can replace them with plastic studs (which you can get at any tattoo/piercing studio). Help this helps.
