Endoscopy done...nails in tact

So as part of my pre-surgery check list I had to get a endoscopy for GERD issues. Less an 48 hours before procedure my lovely nurse called and left me a message with a preop instructs one of which was the removal if my gel nails (acrylics and nail polish too). Well the reason I missed the call was... You guessed it...I was getting my nails done. I was livid. They never mentioned is before, it was not on their preop instruction sheet. Ironically the call came less than 48 hours before the procedure...their cancellation minimum retirement. Before you ink I am ultra vane I was traveling to the us for this procedure and leaving the next dat for a cruise...I would have removed the nails if I knew ahead and wasn't heading on vacay or rescheduled the endoscopy. The silver lining is that I called and talked with them and it turns out because they were clear (with colored tips) so the gel did not interfere with the pulse ox finger monitor. I am letting my fellow sleevers know this so they don't have the reaction I did. I also wanted those ladies with similar nails that you don't have to remove them if they are clear with no color ! Also...this was the last test and we can now book a date!
