Surgery is in 3 days and paperwork says to remove all nail polish. I just got a new set and pedicure less than 2 weeks ago . I can and will take off my toenail polish but do I have to get my nails taken off? SLEEVED 6/21/16

Thank you. And thanks to everyone who responded with feedback without being a total jerk. I didn't get a definitive yes or no from my preop team just a "maybe" so I was coming on here to ask what other's experiences were. SLEEVED 6/21/16

Thank you! Just "googled" and found quite a few kept theirs on as well. I'll take polish off but hate to go sit and soak to take them off. SLEEVED 6/21/16

Thanks!! Gl to you too I have a French tip set, I can remove polish but do I have to soak them completely off is what I'm asking? SLEEVED 6/21/16

Every doctor's guidelines may be different but the one I was given was at least 15g Protein and less than 5g of sugar per serving. SLEEVED 6/21/16

I just started thinking about what to pack for hospital. Thanks for the tip. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

And I'm so hungry . I have to do a 14 day liquid diet. The last day is Clear liquids only. How do y'all do this? I know some people are allowed actual solids on their pre op diet but my Dr's are real strict. I'm not a big sweets person either so these Protein shakes are getting old fast. Right now sipping on low sodium broth. Surgery is on the 21st and couldn't come fast enough. How are y'all doing? This is a list of things allowed Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon said this is going to be the new, new thing like laparoscopic is to open surgery. Crazy, right?

I've seen those gladiator workouts going on at a local park and have been curious but too shy to try. How far out from surgery are you? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I believe it's to shrink the liver so that Dr's can access what they need to easily. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Scheduled for June 21st. Start pre-op this Tuesday the 6th Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Tonight I told my mom I was scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks. Her response, "you know you'll have hanging skin everywhere". I'd rather have hanging skin than tires of fat or a list of co-morbidities. I'm so sad she is not supportive. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
