As anyone in here had surgery with tips/artificial nails? If so did they want your polish off or did they say nothing or something?

I don't have acrylics anymore, moved on to my natural nails with shellac/gel polish! It's awesome! Yes, I had to remove my nail polish before surgery. They look at your nails for oxygen content. You may want to ask.

Because your on a liquid diet for 3 weeks (stage post op)and while in the hospital they pump u up with liquids hence fourth the peeing

Thankfully I didn't have a 3 week liquid diet. Went home on purred foods, soft after one week.

I have surgery 5/30/12 next Wednesday. Soon can't believe the day is getting so close. I'm on a low calorie diet. 2 shakes 2 snack & one meal dinner veggies & a piece of meat.

I asked about the nails & requested for my nails to be left alone. I had 3-c sections & I had nails with polish & all threw out it all. The surgeon made an expection for me. It's just part of my life,and I can't see my self with out my nails. It's like I wouldn't be struggling so much if I didn't have kids. Some people may find it silly it's just nails,but I been doing my nails for over 10 years,and it's part of me. On my body right now that's the only thing I care about when it comes to surgery. On my everyday life. I always have my wedding band I wear proudly even though my husband doesn't deserve for me to wear it. I have a ring my daughter bought me years ago for mother's day. On my left hand no rings I limited it. I do have a Bracelet. I have an ID bracelet on my left hand also. A chain with 3 shoes for my kids. Earrings. I love my gold & I never take them off except for washing them,and it has become part of my life,but the moment I get discharge from the hospital my family will bring all my gold back so I'll be wearing it leaving the hospital. They know me very well & I would feel so nude with out it. It's part of me.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
