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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
