So Leave it to me to put this out there in the VSG World... But I have to be honest and warn ppl.

SO yesterday I had 2 appointments one with the Psychologist and a Upper GI. Well of course I was told to remove all piercings so I did before I left home. Well I was away for 5 hours, that's it!!! I've had my girls pierced for 2 years.... So why was it hard for me to put them back in when I got home. I mean it took hours but I love my piercings so I was determined to get them in before I went to sleep and they close completely!

So to all my beautiful pierced ppl please learn from my mistake. Buy some plastic Jewelry to put in while having these types of procedures or I heard they can also cover it with tape. I hope this helps someone out, I know I wish I had this information before.

P.S. Don't mind the silly pic just something I found online

That was one of my biggest fears before surgery! I got mine pierced in may and was not about to take them out in fear that they would close before I could get them back in! Thank goodness my surgeon and the nurses were ok with me having plastic ones in!

I'm not pierced so I don't know much about it but it amazes me that after being pierced for two years that they tried to close up so quickly.

Already made that mistake when I had my twins. Had to take them out before we went into the o.r. (it was an emergency) and they lost them. I want to get then redone but to go through that healing process again ????????

Wow.. For the GI I only took out my tongue ring. I was able to keep my nose and eyebrow piercings in. Good advice though for surgery day.

@caramelgroove they told me no metal, but since they were taking a xray of that portion of my body I made sure to take them out. I didn't want anything zapping my Tatasss... lol

I have quite a few piercings, and I had no idea I needed to take them out for EKG. I told the doctors I would need a few minutes and some pliers (I have a couple of captive beads and 1/2" metal flares in my ears.)

I got a wide eyed stare when I requested tools to open and remove 5 of my piercings. They decided it probably wasn't a big deal to just do the EKG with the piercings in after all (including both nipples).

I don't have my tatas pierced but if they were I could avoid any xray trouble by throwing them up over my shoulders. ;)

I do have ten ear piercings, a few of which I have NO IDEA how to remove. EEEEEK!

      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?
