Question About Nails

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.

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.
