Body jewelry during the procedure?

I expect that I will have to take out my belly button ring during the procedure but for all other jewelry? I have 2 recent piercings, would they allow retainers? Has anyone been able to keep just plastic/bioplast/other retainers in during a procedure? The newest piercing I've had only a month and a half and I just DO NOT want to have it close up if I get this procedure in the next few months. I will consult my doctor and such but I want to hear some other experiences.
