Lol I think ima get a clear plastic gauge expander so it can just sit in there without actually being seen and keep my hole open

Do you mean during surgery? You'll be getting intubated to go under general anesthesia....I can't imagine any anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist that would allow you to keep ANYTHING in your mouth....too much risk for you and consequently them.

@@SharBear617 is correct. I'd completely forgotten about anesthesia. The gauge won't be permitted. Anything that can move or be popped out of position or anything else is a potential danger. If your tongue piercing does begin to close or closes all the way, you'd have to get repierced later on. I expect that, if you refuse to go into surgery with nothing in your tongue, you won't have surgery.

Call your surgeon's office and find out for sure.

Your anesthesiologist will ask that it be removed as it may impede your airway if it was to become loose. Small price to pay to stay safe

Hello,

I worked in an OR for years. You cannot have anything through your tongue. It is a potential hazard and it can compromise your safety. You'll have to have it out while in the OR.

I repeat: Call your surgery practice to get the answer to your question. There's no point in going back and forth with people here, as none of us is involved in deciding your surgeon's requirements and limits. You asked a question and don't like the answers you're getting.

Surgical tape was placed over my piercings by the nurse before surgery. I don't believe the tongue piercing will be a problem as your mouth is closed/covered during surgery. But then again, I'm not a doctor. I say check in with your surgeon for the final word.

Anyone have surgery experience with a nose ring? Plastic plug? Keep it in? Take it all out? I REALLY dont want my nose to close up, its been years. It does close fast too. If I ever get my surgery, I was wondering about that.
