They tell you not to even wear nail polish as they put a heart monitor on your big toe and finger.
I didn’t wear anything and wouldn’t want too imagine waking u after they have tapped your eyes shut and stuck tubes in your mouth a oxygen mask and its all smeared all over your face lol
So much for looking pretty!

They ask for no make-up or perfume or lotions in effort to preserve the sterile environment in the OR and to reduce the risk of infection via introduction of bacteria ... I say If it makes you feel better and the anesthesiologist does not oppose it.. ROCK ON

The sterile field is no where near your face... you seriously can wear makeup. Nail polish will not interfere with the oxygen saturation monitor.... false nails sometimes make it difficult to get on 02 sat if they are really thick. Personally, I wasn't going in to the hospital looking like a crazy person, I used to work at the hospital I had mine done and you bet I ran into a dozen old colleagues during my stay! Bad enough I was 60lbs heavier since the last time they saw me. If you really want to wear makeup I say go for it.

I guess this is yet another case where the rules are different. My directions were no make up, moisturizer, deo, powder and no polish on fingers or toes. I did wear clear polish though and no one objected. I guess you will just have to ask about the policy where you are getting sleeved.

Just wanted to tell everyone that I had surgery yesterday and here's the scoop lol! I wore "bare minerals" foundation powder one circular all over, and "bare minerals" blush a small amount, one brush over and then I put a thin line of "bare minerals" waterproof eyeliner, and "rimmel" Water proof mascara , one swipe and everything went fine!!!! Yippee

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
