piercings



Recommended Posts

I have a couple of microdermal piercings high on my chest. Will they have to be removed before surgery? They are titanium so i don't think they will interfere with anything but I am not sure. When I had my hysterectomy ( I didn't have them then) they made me remove all my jewlery including my wedding rings.

Yep they will make you remove them. God forbid if anything were to happen and they needed to work on your chest, the piercings would interfere. This isnas far as I know. Hospital even made sure I had no metal in my scrunchie and no hair clips

When I had my hysterectomy they covered my piercings with surgical tape and left them in, no big deal. I only had to remove my earrings. Microdermal piercings can't just be "taken out" can they? I was considering getting a diamond below / beside my eye (kinda on the cheekbone). Still considering that one actually, it's cute! lol

No u can't just take microdermals out. They are in for good until you get them taken out. Maybe they will just cover them with tape... Hoping anyway

Had my first visit with the Dr. today. Neither the Dr. nor his surgical assistant had seen microdermal peircings before. They told me just to take them out. I said, I can't they are implants. "Oh they are implants. Ok, we will just cover them with tape.' So then I decided to push my luck. How about the tragus piercing? I just got it and I am not sure how soon I can take it out. " Well" they said, ' You either have to get a spacer or it has to go." LOL, so the metal on my chest gets to stay and the metal in my ears has to go. Thought that was kind of funny!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
