I'm having a Band to RNY on Wednesday, the 17th.

Are we aloud to use Gas-X chewables while we're in the hospital or will it clash with the Doc ordered meds and/or mess with the natural release of the gas?

Also, to the women, I know no make up or jewelry, but can I polish my toenails? Fingers?

I'm 14 days post op and my nails and toes were painted. ..gel...and there were no questions.

Did you have polish (gel) going INTO surgery? Hands AND feet?

I'm pre op but I've been doing a lot of research and a lot of people are using the Gas X strips while in the hospital. You place the strips on your tongue and it dissolves, so it shouldn't interfere with any medications or the procedure. Hopefully this helps

Yes

Cool. THANKS!

I had a dark polish on my nails and they had to put the oxygen monitor on my ear lobe instead of my finger. Not fun

Hey ladies! I'm a girly girl, but can get dirty too! To answer your question, for my surgeries and hospital stats, I like to feel a little pretty. So to keep everyone happy, I just go with a pretty, American manicure on my fingernails and a French on my toenails. That way, they're able to have visual access to my nail beds. I even get my hair done, so I don't have to bother with it for a bit and I make sure to have cute jammies for my stays. I always tend to feel better when I feel I look cute. You know? ???? Cheers and best wishes to you!
