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

What about dermals? I have chest dermals. I wonder if I will have to take them out? That is no easy task! Literally need them cut out!

Okay maybe you'll need to request the Bandage.... or tape : / make sure you keep us posted with the outcome you never know who may need this information : ) thanks for your question.

I know I have heard different things. If they need to take them out maybe they can wait until I am under anesthesia lol!

I don't have the boobs but I have another "lady love" piercing... I didn't take it out for any of my appointments and I honestly didn't even think about it for my surgery. I have not gotten a date yet so I have time. I have a labret piercing too but I'm sure I have a retainer for it. Good topic!!!

They don't put you to sleep for your upper GI, it's a pre op test done.
